Stone identifies not only the momentous achievement of the discovery of the scientific method but also the more subtle process of experimentation in literature through which ideas were continually tested and redefined. She offers close readings of works by Rotrou, Corneille, Racine, Moli're, La Rochefoucauld, and Lafayette, as well as by Descartes, Fureti're, and Pascal.
