Abstract
Amazon (2013):
With forty-four newly commissioned articles from an international cast of leading
scholars, The Routledge Companion to Literature and Science traces the network of
connections among literature, science, technology, mathematics, and medicine. Divided
into three main sections, this volume:
links diverse literatures to scientific disciplines from Artificial Intelligence to
Thermodynamics
surveys current theoretical and disciplinary approaches from Animal Studies to Semiotics
traces the history and culture of literature and science from Greece and Rome to Postmodernism.
Ranging from classical origins and modern revolutions to current developments in cultural
science studies and the posthumanities, this indispensible volume offers a comprehensive
resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers.
With authoritative, accessible, and succinct treatments of the sciences in their literary
dimensions and cultural frameworks, here is the essential guide to this vibrant area
of study.
