Reviews

This well-conceived and richly informative collection situates Shakespearean drama at the intersection of the arts and sciences in early modern culture. The continuities of knowledge were epitomized in the imaginative possibilities of theater; and Shakespeare here is seen as both a representative and the supreme examplar of an age in which humanism, technology, craftsmanship, philosophy, alchemy, magic and poetry were inextricably interrelated. Historians of both the arts and sciences will find this a valuable and provocative volume.--Stephen Orgel, Stanford University
