- An inheritance lost -- Nature's confession -- Baconian and anti-Baconian narratives in Donne's devotions -- 'Companions of my thoughts more green': Damon's Baconian sexing of nature -- A 'fantastic mind' and a 'fix'd heart': Rochester and the disciplining of the mind -- Conclusion: Promethean and post-scientific narratives.
- 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 theywere also debating the narrative of humanity's intellectual path.
