In intellectual, material, and social terms, the transformation undergone by Western culture over the period was unprecedented. Many of these changes were grounded in the growth of science. Yet science was not a cultural monolith then any more than it is now, and its development was shaped by competing worldviews. To cover the full range of literary engagements with science in the long nineteenth century, the companion consists of 27 essays by experts in the field that explore crucial social and intellectual contexts for the interactions between literature and science, how science affected different genres of writing, and the importance of individual scientific disciplines and concepts within literary culture. Each chapter has its own extensive bibliography. The volume as a whole is rounded out with a synoptic introduction by the editors and an afterword by the eminent historian of nineteenth-century science Bernard Lightman. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Science in literature $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and science $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 700 1 $a Holmes, John, $d 1973- $e editor. 700 1 $a Ruston, Sharon, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710080736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A59D6414033911E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
