Ryan J. Stark presents a spiritually sensitive, original, and interdisciplinary discussion of early modern English rhetoric. He shows how experimental philosophers attempted to disenchant language and how mystics, wizards and other practitioners of mysterious arts vehemently opposed the rhetorical precepts of modern science.
