EBOOK English Renaissance Stage Geometry, Poetics, and the Practical Spatial Arts 1580-1630
Opis
This book demonstrates how the drama of Shakespeare, Dekker, Jonson, and others cannot be adequately explained without reference to early scientific thought. It recovers the historical moment when playwrights collaborated with carpenters, surveyors, and engineers, and poets borrowed ideas about literary form from the field of practical mathematics.
