Neurology and Literature, 1860–1920: Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture

Editat de A. Stiles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2007
This collection demonstrates how late-Victorian and Edwardian neurology and fiction shared common philosophical concerns and rhetorical strategies. Between 1860 and 1920 witnessed unprecedented interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and artists, finding common ground in the prevailing intellectual climate of biological determinism.
