Book Synopsis The Poetics of Scientific Investigation in Seventeenth-century England by : Claire Preston
Book excerpt: This study examines the way that scientists in the 16th and 17th centuries, who had not studied 'science' formally, used the tools of their literary education to formulate ideas about science and, at the same time, how the remarkable 17th-century scientific developments inspired non-scientific writers to make new fictions of discovery.
