Islands as Laboratories in Early Modern Literature and Beyond

Abstract

The paper explores the functioning of the island motif in early modern literature and its later evolution into an instrument of critiquing the traditional European culture. In both cases islands are considered as a special kind of laboratories conceptualized both as places of work and places where experiments are performed in the ideal conditions of isolation from the external world.
