The focus of this study is the perception of nature in the language of poetry and the languages of natural philosophy, technology, theology, and global exploration, primarily in seventeenth-century England. Its premise is that language and the perception of nature vitally affect each other and that seventeenth-century poets-including John Milton, Andrew Marvell, Henry Vaughan, Margaret Cavendish, and Anne Finch among others-responded to experimental proto-science and new technology in ways that we now call "ecological".
