From quantum physics and genetics to psychology and the social
sciences, from the development of atomic weapons to the growing
mass media of film and radio, the early 20th century was a period
of intense scientific and technological change. Modernism, Science,
and Technology surveys the scientific contexts of writers from H.G.
Wells and Gertrude Stein to James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and the
ways in modernist writers responded to these paradigm shifts.
Introducing key concepts from science studies and their
implications for the study of modernist literature, the book
includes chapters covering the physical sciences, mathematics, life
sciences, social sciences and 'pseudosciences'. Including a
timeline of key developments and guides to further reading, this is
an essential guide to students and researchers studying the topic
at all levels.
