Description:

This text argues that changing musical practice in 16th-century Europe affected 17th-century English thought on science and magic. It maps out the various relationships between these disciplines, using different historical, geographical, and social approaches.

Synopsis:

What influence did music have in the domains of natural magic and early modern experimental science? In this highly original book, Penelope Gouk argues that developments in sixteenth-century musical practices changed English thought on science and magic in the next century. Her exploration of the relationships among these apparently separate disciplines sheds new light on the history of each.
