Sobre IBD

As one of a series of studies, this collection of essays applies what is now known of natural history to selected literary texts that assume a more human-centered perspective. Compared to what, for instance, Milton and the metaphysical poets took for granted, the now well-established cosmos is going on fourteen billion years along, comprised of billions of galaxies, and expected to continue many times its current age. That isn’t much like what prominent literary traditions took for granted.
