Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the compelling story of how the New Science transformed English literature during the classical period. It analyzes the dynamic between the scientific revolution and the literary landscape, exploring how the pursuit of experimental philosophy influenced poetry, prose, drama, and literary thought from 1660 to 1740. The author provides a rich account of the interplay between some of the most prominent new philosophers of the time, such as Bacon, Descartes, Boyle, and Newton, and renowned literary figures, including Milton, Dryden, Swift, and Pope. With references to specific works and detailed historical context, the book delves into the scientific ideas that became sources of inspiration for these writers and impacted the way they perceived the natural world and human experience. Ultimately, it sheds light on the significant role that the new scientific discoveries of the seventeenth century played in shaping the development of English literature.
