Fact and Fiction: Literary and Scientific Cultures in Germany and Britain

‘The contributions succeed in both advancing understandings of historical processes of disciplinary differentiation and integration from the eighteenth century onwards and in introducing new perspectives on perennial debates concerning the potential value of literary cultures to the production of scientific knowledge. For this, perhaps above all else, the volume deserves a wide readership.’

Steve Howe, European Romantic Review vol 28:04:2017

‘This collected volume presents a timely intervention into current disciplinary debates about the humanities and sciences…Fact and Fiction is an excellent example of interdisciplinary work in humanities.’

Yevgenya Strakovsky, Monatshefte vol 110:01:2018

"This volume should be welcomed as an essential contribution to inter-disciplinary eighteenth- and nineteenth-century studies… It is an exemplary instance of the translation of a symposium into a published work and will be appreciated by researchers and advanced students of historical cultural studies in Europe as well as specialists in the question of literature and science."

Joseph D. O'Neil, University of Kentucky, University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018

“This anthology is an important contribution to the field of literature and science. The scholarship as a whole, its depth and breadth, is truly impressive.”
