The Concept of Nature in Early Modern English Literature traces a genealogy of ecology in seventeenth-century literature and natural philosophy through the development of the protoecological concept of 'the oeconomy of nature'. Founded in 1644 by Kenelm Digby, this concept was subsequently employed by a number of theologians, physicians, and natural philosophers to conceptualize nature as an interdependent system. Focusing on the middle decades of the seventeenth century, Peter Remien examines how Samuel Gott, Walter Charleton, Robert Boyle, Samuel Collins, and Thomas Burnet formed the oeconomy of nature. Remien also shows how literary authors Ben Jonson, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell, Margaret Cavendish, and John Milton use the discourse of oeconomy to explore the contours of humankind's relationship with the natural world. This book participates in an intellectual history of the science of ecology while prompting a re-evaluation of how we understand the relationship between literature and ecology in the early modern period. 1500-1700 fast Geschichte 1640-1670 gnd Nature in literature English literature Early modern, 1500-1700 History and criticism Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd Natur (Motiv) (DE-588)4115346-7 gnd Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd Frühneuenglisch (DE-588)4352423-0 gnd Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe The concept of nature in early modern English literature (IDSBB)007075251 558421954 s1an rnv VAUD 100 1- Remien Peter 1980- aut IDSBB 100 1- Remien Peter 1980- (DE-588)1180044827 Verfasser aut IDSBB 776 08 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe The concept of nature in early modern English literature (IDSBB)007075251 558421954 SWISSBIB 558421954 ORANGE 558421954 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH AOe 44487 NELA1001904 IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007066554/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis VAUD bcud bcud USA 59409 820(091)"16/17" 810010002
