The Theatre Of Terrestrial Astronomy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417993680)

The Theatre of Terrestrial Astronomy is a book written by Edward Kelly that explores the relationship between astronomy and the theatre. The book delves into the history of both astronomy and theatre, tracing their development over time and examining the ways in which they have influenced each other. Kelly argues that the theatre has been a key site for the dissemination of astronomical knowledge, and that the two fields have often overlapped in surprising and illuminating ways. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the relationship between astronomy and the theatre. Topics covered include the use of astronomy in ancient Greek drama, the role of the theatre in popularizing astronomical ideas during the Renaissance, and the ways in which modern theatre has engaged with astronomical themes and concepts. Throughout the book, Kelly draws on a wide range of historical and cultural sources, including plays, treatises, and scientific texts, to offer a rich and nuanced account of the intersection between these two fascinating fields.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly, by Edward Kelly.
