Zoom Lecture: Alchemy shifting into the Enlightenment

[Paul Ferguson]

"The cultural transformations of the Enlightenment, or Early-Modern Era, involved the psychologicizing of alchemical mythologies in the secular poetics of Alexander Pope, whose Rape of the Lock acknowledges his debt to the French Rosicrucians. A century later, Goethe’s engagement with alchemy reflects the radical shift towards the Romantic era."
