Literary & Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity
General Editors: Mary Thomas Crane, Boston College, and Henry 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—poetics, rhetoric, prose narrative, dramatic production,
utopia—and 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.
