Book Synopsis The Purple Island and Anatomy in Early Seventeenth-century Literature, Philosophy, and Theology by : Peter Mitchell
Book excerpt: Sets out to reconstruct and analyze the rationality of Phineas Fletcher's use of figurality in The Purple Island (1633) - a poetic allegory of human anatomy. This book demonstrates that the analogies and metaphors of literary works share coherence and consistency with anatomy textbooks.
