Description
Fletcher reveals how early modern science and English poetry were in many ways elements of one process: discovering the secrets of motion. Beginning with the achievement of Galileo, the book identifies the problem of motion as the central cultural issue of the time, pursued through the poetry, from Marlowe and Shakespeare to Ben Jonson and Milton.
