As a hybrid between poetry and scholarship, the past and the modern era, modernity, and humanity and nature, the Early Modern didactic poem can seem like the dusty artifact of a bygone system of knowledge that did not know the difference between nature and culture. Examining its significance and topicality in the posthuman age, this volume renegotiates the genre from the perspective of the actor-network theory and philosophy of Bruno Latour.
