Forthcoming Series: Early Modern Scientific Poetry

 

Series Editors: Hania Siebenpfeiffer, Kevin Killeen, Florian Klaeger and Cassandra Gorman

Early Modern Scientific Poetry (EMSP) is a book series that investigates the intricate relationship between early modern poetry and the emerging sciences, c. 1550–1750. Aimed at a readership in literary and cultural studies and the history of science, it establishes a new field of inquiry by integrating the history of knowledge with poetics.

The series offers a methodologically and thematically innovative approach by exploring how poetry in early modern vernaculars and Neo-Latin engaged with natural philosophy—including natural history, medicine, astronomy, physics, and botany—and increasingly, with ecological and climatological concerns. It provides a scholarly venue for this underexplored area of research, offering a focused interdisciplinary examination into how poetry addressing science worked differently to prose in the early modern period.

Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals for manuscripts to the publisher at BRILL, Masja Horn. Please refer to our Guidelines for a Book Proposal. All submissions are subject to a double-anonymous peer review process prior to publication.
