Reviews
“Advanced researchers and students of the early modern period will find in this volume a wealth of insights on the productive tensions between literary and scientific discourses. … The volume offers a vital introduction to the most significant interventions into early modern literature and science, as well as important new trajectories forming in the wake of renewed conversations about the divisions within and across literature and science.” (Jen Boyle, Isis, Vol. 110 (2), June, 2019)
“An ambitious and timely resource, The Palgrave Handbook of Early Modern Literature and Science is a wide-ranging, multivalent collection covering the intersections of literature and science. … should be on the bookshelf of any scholar interested in the shared histories of literature and science. But what is most significant about the collection is not simply the arguments offered about authors and texts, but rather the performance of the collection itself … .” (Katherine Walker, Journal of the Northern Renaissance, nothernrenaissance.org, August, 2017)
