Figures of Chance I: Chance in Literature and the Arts (16th–21st Centuries) is a transhistorical analysis that aims to provide a comprehensive reference work on the evolution of literary and artistic representations of chance and contingency. It is accompanied by a multidisciplinary companion volume, Figures of Chance II, which explores the relationship between societal projective and predictive capacity and representations and cultural models of a reality that is perceived as contingent, unpredictable, or chaotic. With a particular focus on the French context, the book also conducts broad cross-cultural comparisons. It examines the dialogue between evolving conceptions and changing representations of chance, from Renaissance figures of Fortune to the data-driven world of the present. Written by recognized specialists of each of the periods studied, the book identifies and historicizes the main fictional and factual modes of portraying, narrating, and comprehending chance in the West. The Prologue and Introduction of the book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
