In this insightful book, John H. Cartwright meticulously examines the intricate relationship between literature and science. Far from being disparate fields, Cartwright argues that these two pillars of human knowledge constantly influence and enrich each other. He delves into how scientific discoveries have shaped literary narratives, and conversely, how imaginative literature has often anticipated or reflected scientific thought. The book explores the profound social interactions and cultural transformations that arise from this dynamic interplay, offering a compelling perspective on their mutual evolution and impact on society.
