Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the years 1760-1840, scientific developments were revolutionizing the ways in which people viewed the world, and this extended to the literary arena. Ranging from late eighteenth-century political writings to mid-nineteenth- century pamphlets on vaccination, this collection is divided into sections by scientific discipline, each illuminating a context of current interest to literary scholars. The first volume offers an extensive introduction tracing the development of various scientific fields, and explores the central texts/discoveries and their significance, as well as providing an account of their impact on literature. A bibliography of major scientific works and suggestions for critical reading is also provided, as is a detailed index.
