Situated at the intersection of literature and science, Holland's
study draws upon a diverse corpus of literary and scientific texts
which testify to a cultural fascination with procreation around
1800. Through readings which range from Goethe 's writing on
metamorphosis to Novalis 's aphorisms and novels and Ritter 's
Fragments from the Estate of a Young Physicist, Holland proposes
that each author contributes to a scientifically-informed poetics
of procreation. Rather than subscribing to a single biological
theory (such as epigenesis or preformation), these authors take
their inspiration from a wide inventory of procreative motifs and
imagery.
