Tracing the continuities and trends in the complex relationship
between literature and science in the long nineteenth century, this
companion provides scholars with a comprehensive, authoritative and
up-to-date foundation for research in this field. In intellectual,
material and social terms, the transformation undergone by Western
culture over the period was unprecedented. Many of these changes
were grounded in the growth of science. Yet science was not a
cultural monolith then any more than it is now, and its development
was shaped by competing world views. To cover the full range of
literary engagements with science in the nineteenth century, this
companion consists of twenty-seven chapters by experts in the
field, which explore crucial social and intellectual contexts for
the interactions between literature and science, how science
affected different genres of writing, and the importance of
individual scientific disciplines and concepts within literary
culture. Each chapter has its own extensive bibliography. The
volume as a whole is rounded out with a synoptic introduction by
the editors and an afterword by the eminent historian of
nineteenth-century science Bernard Lightman.
