Announcing a new series from Ashgate Publishing Company

Literary and Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity

Series Editors:
Mary Thomas Crane, Boston College and
Henry S. Turner, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Ashgate's new series provides a forum for groundbreaking work on the
relations between literary and scientific discourses in Europe, during a
period when both fields were in a crucial moment of historical formation.
We welcome proposals that address the many overlaps between modes of
imaginative writing typical of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries^Wpoetics, rhetoric, prose narrative, dramatic production,
utopia^Wand the vocabularies, conceptual models, and intellectual methods
of newly emergent "scientific" fields such as medicine, astronomy,
astrology, alchemy, psychology, mapping, mathematics, or natural history.
In order to reflect the nature of intellectual inquiry during the period,
the series is interdisciplinary in orientation and will publish
monographs, edited collections, and selected critical editions of primary
texts relevant to an understanding of the mutual implication of literary
and scientific epistemologies.

Proposals should take the form of either
1) a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing the project; or
2) a formal prospectus including: abstract, table of contents, sample
chapter, estimate of length, estimate of the number and type of
illustrations to be included, and a c.v.

and to the publisher, at the addresses below:
