Francis Bacon and the seventeenth-century intellectual discourse

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 they were also debating the narrative of humanity's intellectual path.
