Recenzii
'With erudition lightly worn and engagingly conveyed, this book traces the development of natural theology across the seventeenth century from Bacon to Donne to Cavendish and to Milton, Bunyan, and the Boyle Lectures. Its fusion of intellectual history and literary criticism will delight scholars of this period along with those approaching it afresh. The book of nature that Calloway opens up is richly interwoven with compelling thought and beautiful poetry.' Dennis Danielson, Professor Emeritus of English, University of British Columbia
'From Bacon to the Boyle lectures, from the metaphysicals to Milton, Bunyan, Hutchinson, and Cavendish, this book provides a ground-breaking guide to the evolving conversation between early modern science and “creative” or literary theology throughout the seventeenth century. Examining how Protestant poets and prose writers diversely applied new understandings of nature to both traditional and Reformed views of scripture, Calloway's deeply-informed conclusions rest on a broad range of authorial sources and current literary criticism. A must-read for any scholar seriously concerned with these themes and authors.' Catherine Gimelli Martin, Professor emerità, English Literature, University of Memphis
