Annotated Source #19 (2/29)

Nicholson, Marjorie. "The 'New Astronomy' and English Literary Imagination." Studies in Philology 32.3 (1935): 428-462. Print.

  • Nicholson here discusses the impact of other various discoveries surrounding the Copernican Revolution, particularly the development of the telescope, and the impact that that had on man's understanding of the universe, and then how that impacted the English Literary Imagination. She pays particularly attention to Donne, whose sonnets and sermons I intend to look at in the course of my research.
