Observing that it was in the eighteenth century that the divide between science and literature as disciplines first began to be defined, the contributors to this collection probe how authors from that time onwards have assessed and affected the relationship between literary and scientific cultures. Fact and fiction's twelve essays cover a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics and chemistry to medicine and anthropology, and a variety of literary texts, such as Erasmus Darwin's poem The Botanic Garden, George Eliot's Daniel Deronda, and Goethe's Elective Affinities. The collection will appeal to scholars of literature and of the history of science, and to those interested in the connections between the two. 650 0 $a German literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and science $z Germany $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Literature and science $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Science in literature. 700 1 $a Lehleiter, Christine, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010547.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304041514.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C7ED6A06B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
