Opis

There has long been friction and debate between the sciences and the humanities, culminating in the 'two cultures debate' in which scientist and novelist C P Snow declared the breakdown of communication between the 'two cultures'. This book offers an overview of the history of these debates whilst tracing the conflict between the two disciplines.

Recenzje

'This extraordinarily wide-ranging and well-organised series of essays will be invaluable to students and scholars alike who are interested in how scientific thinking and literary texts engage with fundamental ideas in common.' - Dame Gillian Beer, Professor of English Literature Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, UK

'Because the writing throughout is accessible to nonspecialists in both literature and science, the volume fulfills the editors' aim of offering a much-needed, comprehensive grounding in the field. Recommended.' - Choice

'A sustained attempt to resist demarcating disciplinary boundaries or limit available methodologies.' - British Society for Literature and Science
