Francis Bacon and the Seventeenth-Century Intellectual Discourse

By Anthony J. Funari

Book Overview

This book explores the resistance of three English poets to Francis Bacon's project to restore humanity to Adamic mastery over nature, moving beyond a discussion of the tension between Bacon and these poetic voices to suggest theywere also debating the narrative of humanity's intellectual path.
