Scholars of English literature explore the interplay among various facets of early modern intellectual endeavor, noting that people then did not make modern distinctions for example between poetry and science, or anthropology and fantasy. Their topics include orienting early modern travel, geography and authority in the Royal Society's instructions for travelers, bodily transgression in Margaret Cavendish's Blazing World, Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and the new science, Galileo and the invention of lunar cartography, and spectating science in the early modern collection.
