This is a pioneering study of the phenomenon of vibration and its
history and reception through culture. The study of the senses has
become a rich topic in recent years. "Senses of Vibration" explores
a wide range of sensory experience and makes a decisive new
contribution to this growing field by focussing not simply on the
senses as such, but on the material experience - vibration - that
underpins them. This is the first book to take the theme of
vibration as central, offering an interdisciplinary history of the
phenomenon and its reverberations in the cultural imaginary. It
tracks vibration through the work of a wide range of writers,
including physiologists (who thought vibrations in the nerves
delivered sensations to the brain), physicists (who claimed that
light, heat, electricity and other forms of energy were vibratory),
spiritualists (who figured that spiritual energies also existed in
vibratory form), and poets and novelists from Coleridge to Dickens
and Wells. "Senses of Vibration" is a work of scholarship that cuts
through a range of disciplines and will reverberate for many years
to come.
