The theme of this volume, 'knowledge in literature', refers not to
the way in which literature communicates cultural phenomena,
events, and norms regulating or reflecting everyday action and
behaviour. Instead, it focuses on the 'new knowledge' about nature
and the human animal produced (or rejected) in individual branches
of science and learning since the 17th century and the changes it
has effected in human and social self-interpretation. The
consequence of this has been a spate of rival concepts of nature
and representation and new forms of literary penetration and
appropriation of knowledge that display repercussions both on
literature itself and on science, philosophy and the humanities.
