Abstract
Publisher's Note:
What does the poetry of a leading immunologist and a Nobel-Prize-winning chemist tell
us about how poetry can engage with science? How did developments in biology shape
modernist poetry? In this new collection, leading experts on modern poetry, literature
and science explore how poets have used scientific language in their poems, how poetry
can offer new perspectives on science, and how the 'Two Cultures' can and have come
together in the work of poets from Britain, Ireland, America and Australia.
