They generate associated interests: the relation of literature and science, the methodology of thought and argument, and the processes of narrative, discovery, and interpretation. Creativity, optics, rhetoric, and language are focal as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Analogy, 'the connector of the known to the unknown,' is given in-depth exploration in this fascinating study of life and death, darkness and light, language and meaning; a learned, richly textured study that contributes immeasurably to early modern studies.\" -- -Regina M. Schwartz Professor of English, Northwestern University \"This fascinating book is above all a contribution to the history of early modern science that helps an ongoing critical process of revisionism by showing how both scientific and poetic thought use analogy in similar ways. It is also fascinating in its unusual structure: it allows us access to Anderson's subtle critical mind in the process of building interpretations.\" -- -Leah Marcus Vanderbilt University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Issues of Death, Light, and Analogy\u003cbr\u003e 1. “The Body of This Death”: Donne’s Sermons,\u003cbr\u003e Spenser’s Maleger, Milton’s Sin and Death\u003cbr\u003e 2.
