Poison's Dark Works in Renaissance England
Miranda Wilson
Poison's Dark Works explores the ways English writings about poisoning prompted new ways of thinking. Placing medical, legal, technical, and scientific texts in conversation with literary ones, this work argues that as crime of the imagination, poisoning serves as a powerful metaphor for the dangers, pleasures, and possibilities of innovation.
