Publisher's Synopsis

The essays in this edited collection look at the role of poetry in the development of Enlightenment ideas. As scholarly disciplines began to emerge - anthropology, linguistics, psychology - the ancient art of poetry was invoked to create new ways of defining and expanding this philosophy of human science.
