基本説明

Focusing on selfhood, embodiment and environment in the early modern world, this volume approaches a range of literary and cultural texts from an ecological perspective-one in which the microcosmic 'body' is seen as continuous with and permeated by the macrocosmic 'environment'.

Full Description

Eleven essays invite us to rethink not only what constitutes an environment but also where the environment ends and selfhood begins. The essays examine the dynamic and varied mediations early modern writers posited between microcosm and macrocosm, ranging from discourses on the ecology of passions to striking examples of distributed cognition.
