It is a question that piqued natural philosophers of the seventeenth century as they experimented with the rhetorical figures, neologisms, verse-forms, and generic variety that characterise the literary texture of their work. Inspired laymen were quick to borrow from the new philosophy and from practising scientists in order to deploy ideas and images from astronomy, optics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. Between them, scientists, natural historians, poets, dramatists, and essayists produced new, adjusted, or hybrid literary forms. The Poetics of Scientific Investigation in Seventeenth-Century England examines those forms and that literary-scientific texture, as well as representations of the scientific--the laboratory, collaborative experimental retirement, and the canons of scientific conversation--and proposes that the writing of seventeenth-century science mirrors the intellectual and investigative processes of early-modern science itself"--$$cBook jacket. 000756936 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000756936 60010 $$aBrowne, Thomas,$$cSir,$$d1605-1682$$xLiterary style. 000756936 60010 $$aBoyle, Robert,$$d1627-1691$$xLiterary style. 000756936 650_0 $$aTechnical writing$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000756936 650_0 $$aDidactic literature$$xHistory and criticism. 000756936 650_0 $$aScience in literature$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000756936 650_0 $$aTechnical writing$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000756936 650_0 $$aDidactic literature, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000756936 650_0 $$aLiterature and science$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000756936 650_0 $$aEnglish prose literature$$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$$xHistory and criticism. 000756936 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPreston, Claire.$$tPoetics of scientific investigation in seventeenth-century England.$$dOxford : Oxford University Press, 2016$$z9780198704805$$w(DLC) 2015943219$$w(OCoLC)936199583 000756936 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000756936 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198704805.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000756936 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756936$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756936 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756936 980__ $$aBIB 000756936 982__ $$aEbook 000756936 983__ $$aOnline
