520 |a This book explores interconnections between the modes of knowing that we now associate with the rubrics ‘literature’ and ‘science’ at a formative point in their early development. Rather than simply tracing lines of influence, it focuses on how both literary texts and natural philosophy engage with materiality, language, affect, and form. Some essays are invested in how early modern science adopts and actively experiments with rhetorical and poetic modes and expression, while others emphasize a shared investment in natural philosophical topics—alchemy, chance, or astrology for example—that move among the period’s observational texts and its literature, highlighting the participation of literary texts in the production of experimental knowledge. Organised around the broad themes of creation and transformation, mediation and communication, and interpretation and imaginative speculation, the essays collectively probe the presumed dichotomy between science’s schematizing and taxonomic ambitions, and the fertile and volatile creative energies of literary texts. Subha Mukherji is Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture at the University of Cambridge, UK. She is Editor-in-Chief of the Palgrave mini-series Crossroads of Knowledge in Early Modern England, and was Principal Investigator of the 5-year interdisciplinary ERC project, Crossroads of Knowledge, out of which the series, and this volume, emerge. She has published widely on early modern drama and law, law and literature, the poetics of space, literary epistemologies and Shakespeare. Her most recent work is Crossings: Migrant Knowledge, Migrant Forms (co-edited with Natalya Din-Kariuki and Rowan Williams), forthcoming with punctum books in 2024. She is writing a book on Knowing Encounters and editing Shakespeare and Fletcher's Henry VIII for the Cambridge Shakespeare Editions series. Elizabeth Swann is Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Literary Studies at Durham University, UK. Her previous publications include a monograph, Taste and Knowledge in Early Modern England (2020), and she has a new short book, Science as Child’s Play in Seventeenth-Century England: Innocence, Experience, and Experiment, forthcoming with Palgrave Pivot in 2024.
