First published in 1954, Literature and Science discusses
historically the relationship between science and literature and
between scientists and men of letters from the Renaissance onwards.
It shows periods when writers were enthusiastic about science as in
the early days of the Royal Society and notably through the
influence of Newton. Further it explores the later alienation
between science and literature in the technological and industrial
age. There is a full account of Wordsworth's crucial relationships
to these problems which leads to a number of new conclusions. Apart
from his historical survey, Dr. Ifor Evans emphasises the
contemporary importance of the relationship of the artist and the
scientist and outlines an approach to a new humanism, in which the
writer may reach some closer understanding of science than he has
at present attained. Students interested in literature, history of
literature and critical theory will find this book enlightening.
