This book deals with important aspects of nineteenth-century
culture, literary, philosophical and scientific, which remain live
issues today. It examines in detail the writings of Dickens,
Charlotte and Emily Bronte, James Hamilton, Eliot Mill, Arnold,
Pater and Newman and makes substantial reference to Hawthorne,
Dickinson, Spencer, Carlyle and Hardy, all in the context of the
dominant intellectual movements of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The thought of Hamilton, Newman, Mill and Spencer is
contrasted with that of twentieth-century figures like the
philosophers Frege, Husserl, Wittenstein, Merleau-Ponty, the
neo-Darwinists Monod and Dawkins and critics like Eagleton and
Miller. William Myers argues for a traditional view, deriving
largely from Newman, of the unity and autonomy of individual human
beings. He suggests that science and literature depend on persons
being actively and responsively present to each other, that freedom
is always interpersonal, and that in great literature we can
discover the workings of this deep mutuality and its enemies.
