项目摘要

Scientific Poetry and Poetics in Britain and Germany, from the Renaissance to the EnlightenmentThis project explores a mass of largely-unknown scientific poetry, ranging across sciences such as geology, astronomy and botany, and a corresponding poetics of science, an imaginative-aesthetic quality to the emerging disciplines. It will reveal a vibrant facet of Renaissance, Restoration, and Enlightenment culture: the production not only of new ideas, but new forms and vocabularies in which to think through those ideas. This poetic writing did not serve as an equivalent of prose, or a mere popularisation of 'real' science, but positively understood its practice to address nuances of the world, physical and metaphysical, that prose could not plumb. Poetry, the era believed, did not function as mere ornament, but to reveal deep structures in the created world. This potential was theorised by the period's emerging literary criticism, a practice that developed in, the research will show, demonstrable parallel with modern science. The project will unearth and analyse a body of work by women, much of it still in manuscript, that deploys its theo-scientific ideas to dazzling effect, as well as a mass of Neo-Latin verse on topics ranging from blood transfusion to flight theory. It will also show the diffusion of this phenomenal body of scientific literature and its agile poetics, whose influence can be seen in a set of networks operating across Northern Europe - in Latin and German as well as English, and it will trace how a long history of didactic scientific verse morphs and mutates with particularly dramatic effects in the late 17th and early 18th century. The research addresses lacunae in both English and German scholarship. While recent work has addressed the rhetorical character of early modern science, it has focused almost exclusively on prose writing, often of a later period, by male writers, in the vernaculars. This research will show how, in the 17th and 18th centuries, poetic writing was not only central to communicating natural philosophical knowledge, but how shared imaginative processes were thought to inform both domains. One consequence of this blind spot in the scholarship has been a thoroughgoing neglect of a significant English-German poeto-scientific transfer in the early European Enlightenment. The project's reformulation of the era's poetic ideas - its cosmopoetics, its theopoetics and its physico-theology - bears on how we understand emergent aesthetics in this most tumultuous period for the vernaculars of both England and Germany. It will also reveal a good deal about the compositional and referential density of both scientific knowledge and poetic forms, writing that came to be valued precisely because of its discursive volatility and its kaleidoscopic capacity. The project opens up Anglo-German perspectives on the European res publica litteraria that have not been studied, and via its exploration of respective textual corpora and archival finds, the cooperation promises to reveal connections and otherwise hidden parallels in disciplines that have come to be understood, in debates on the 'two cultures' of science and humanities, as antithetical and antagonistic.
英国和德国的科学诗歌和诗学,从文艺复兴到启蒙运动这个项目探讨了大量未知的科学诗歌,涉及地质学,天文学和植物学等科学,以及相应的科学诗学,新兴学科的美学品质。它将揭示文艺复兴、复辟和启蒙文化的一个充满活力的方面:不仅产生新思想,而且产生新的形式和词汇来思考这些思想。这种诗意的写作并不等同于散文,或者仅仅是“真实的”科学的普及,而是积极地理解其实践,以解决世界的细微差别,物理和形而上学,散文无法探测。这个时代相信诗歌不仅仅是装饰品,而是揭示了创造世界的深层结构。这一潜力被这一时期新兴的文学批评理论化,研究将表明,这一实践是在与现代科学平行的情况下发展起来的。该项目将挖掘和分析一系列女性作品,其中大部分仍处于手稿状态,这些作品将其神学科学思想发挥到令人眼花缭乱的效果,以及大量新拉丁诗歌,主题从输血到飞行理论。它还将展示科学文学及其敏捷的诗学的惊人的身体的传播,其影响力可以在一系列网络中看到,这些网络在北方-拉丁语和德语以及英语中运作,它将追溯教学科学诗歌的悠久历史是如何在17世纪末和18世纪世纪初以特别戏剧性的效果变形和变异的。该研究解决了英语和德语学术研究的空白。虽然最近的工作已经解决了早期现代科学的修辞特点,它几乎完全集中在散文写作,往往是后期,由男性作家,在白话。这项研究将展示,在17和18世纪,诗歌写作不仅是沟通自然哲学知识的核心,而且共享的想象过程被认为是如何告知这两个领域的。这种学术盲点的一个后果是彻底忽视了早期欧洲启蒙运动中英德诗歌科学的重要转移。该项目对那个时代的诗学观念--宇宙诗学、神诗学和物理神学--的重新表述,关系到我们如何理解在这个最动荡的时期,英国和德国本土的新兴美学。它还将揭示大量关于科学知识和诗歌形式的组成和参考密度,写作之所以受到重视,正是因为它的话语波动性和万花筒般的能力。该项目开辟了盎格鲁-德国的观点,对欧洲的res excluica litteraria尚未研究,并通过其各自的文本语料库和档案发现的探索,合作承诺,以揭示已被理解的学科的连接和其他隐藏的相似之处,在科学和人文的“两种文化”的辩论中,作为对立和对抗。
