Unmapped Countries - Biological Visions in Nineteenth Century Literature and Culture (Paperback, Annotated Ed)

In the field of literary and cultural studies, interest in nineteenth-century biology has been substantial over the last twenty years, yet the focus has been almost exclusively on evolutionary theory, neglecting other branches of nineteenth-century biology. This collection corrects that imbalance, shedding light on other discoveies in cell biology, physiology, neurology and virology. It examines the issue of authority in science, demonstrating the social 'embeddedness' of the natural sciences, and gender issues. It also shows how scientists and creative writers drew on a common imagination as well as narrative techniques and stylistic devices.
