Britain in the long nineteenth century developed an increasing
interest in science of all kinds. Whilst poets and novelists took
inspiration from technical and scientific innovations, those
directly engaged in these new disciplines relied on literary
techniques to communicate their discoveries to a wider audience.
The essays in this collection uncover this symbiotic relationship
between literature and science, at the same time bridging the
disciplinary gulf between the history of science and literary
studies. Specific case studies include the engineering language
used by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the role of physiology in the
development of the sensation novel and how mass communication made
people lonely.
