A Brave New World of Knowledge: Shakespeare's the Tempest and Early Modern Epistemology

by B.J. Sokol

This study of an extraordinary work of dramatic literature addresses questions on the nature and dissemination of the 'scientific revolution.' It uncovers a number of previously little appreciated connections of The Tempest with specific
problems or advances of knowledge, thus showing that the play reflected innovative proto-scientific modes of confronting the physical, biological, and human realms.
