This book explores how mechanics participate in the intellectual culture of Renaissance humanism. Harnessing the discipline of mechanics to their literary and philosophical concerns, writers including Francis Bacon and Edmund Spenser look to machinery to ponder all manner of instrumental means, from rhetoric and pedagogy to diplomacy and courtly dissimulation.
