'It
has been said by its opponents that science divorces itself from
literature; but the statement, like so many others, arises from lack of
knowledge.' John Tyndall, 1874
Although we are used to
thinking of science and the humanities as separate disciplines, in the
nineteenth century that division was not recognized. As the scientist
John Tyndall pointed out, not only were science and literature both
striving to better 'man's estate', they shared a common language and
cultural heritage. The same subjects occupied the writing of scientists
and novelists: the quest for 'origins', the nature of the relation
between society and the individual, and what it meant to be human. This
anthology brings together a generous selection of
scientific and literary material to explore the exchanges and
interactions between them. Fed by a common imagination, scientists and
creative writers alike used stories, imagery, style, and structure to
convey their meaning, and to produce work of enduring power.
The anthology includes writing by Charles Babbage, Charles Darwin, Sir
Humphry Davy, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Michael Faraday, Thomas
Malthus, Louis Pasteur, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Mark Twain and
many others, and introductions and notes guide the reader through the
topic's many strands.
