Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature: Mediation and Affect

Introduction to my book, Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature: Mediation and Affect

 available for preview

 Full contents list

Reviews: '…a masterful study of political, philosophical, and epistemological spaces in English literature from Eikonoclastes and Leviathan to Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. Ranging from 17th century Epicureanism to the invention of calculus, from early modern political theory and epistemology to baroque allegory, Boyle's monograph is intellectually adventurous.' 
Graham Hammill, SUNY at Buffalo, USA
