New worlds and new philosophies. 330 $aContemporary ideals of science representing disinterested and objective fields of investigation have their origins in the seventeenth century. However, 'new science' did not simply or uniformly replace earlier beliefs about the workings of the natural world, but entered into competition with them. It is this complex process of competition and negotiation concerning ways of seeing the natural world that is charted by the essays in this book. The collection traces the many overlaps between 'literary' and 'scientific' discourses as writers in this period attempted both to understand imaginatively and empirically the workings of the natural world, and shows that a discrete separation between such discourses and spheres is untenable. 517 3 $aArts of seventeenth-century science 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aScience$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y17th century 607 $aNorth America$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a820.9/356 701 $aJowitt$b Claire$0853568 701 $aWatt$b Diane$f1965-$01116485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954398203321 996 $aThe arts of 17th-century science$94483198 997 $aUNINA
