Summary

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.

Author Biography

Penelope Gouk gained her PhD at the Warburg Institute, University of London, and is now a Wellcome Researcher in the History of Medicine at the University of Manchester. Her publications include The Ivory Sundials of Nuremberg, 1500--1700.
