Galileo's Reading makes new claims about the role of epic poetry in shaping the methodologies and expressions of early modern philosophy. The book traces the engagement of Galileo (1564–1642) with a wide range of writers, both literary and scientific, and analyzes Galileo's library including his annotations in his own books.
