Science & Omniscience in Nineteenth Century Literature
ISBN: 9781845196479 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book takes as its starting point Pierre-Simon Laplace's much-cited dream in 1812 of "a vast intelligence" in which the future and the past are equally calculable. From there, author Jonathan Taylor investigates some of the ways in which Laplacian and Newtonian models of observation and the universe are at once assimilated and complicated by Romantic and Victorian writers such as Carlyle, Burke, Abbott, Poe, and Wordsworth. This work then explains how some of these literary reimaginings look forward to more modern conceptions of science in the 20th and 21st centuries, such as Chaos Theory...

ISBN: 9780748696741 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
