But Robert J. Scholnick points out that these areas of learning, up through the beginning of the nineteenth century, ""were understood as parts of a unitary endeavor."" By mid-century they had diverged, but literature and science have continued to interact, conflict, and illuminate each other. In this innovative work, twelve leaders in this emerging interdisciplinary field explore the long engagement of American writers with science and uncover science's conflicting meani 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and science$zUnited States 606 $aScience in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and science 615 0$aScience in literature. 676 $a810.9/356 702 $aScholnick$b Robert J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460295703321 996 $aAmerican literature and science$91125632 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03649nam 2200481 450 001 9910166649203321 005 20161221000000.0 010 $a0-472-12245-2 024 7 $a10.3998/mpub.9357346 035 $a(CKB)3710000001092107 035 $a(OCoLC)988892252 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse61043 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5124448 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6716491 035 $a(MiU)10.3998/mpub.9357346 035 $a(NjHacI)993710000001092107 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001092107 100 $a20161122d2017|||| ||| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurm|#||||nn|n 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aStrange Science $eInvestigating the Limits of Knowledge in the Victorian Age /$fLara P.

Although now relegated to the category of the pseudoscientific, fields like mesmerism and psychical research captured the imagination of the Victorian public. Conversely, many branches of science that we now view as uncontroversial, such as physics and botany, were often associated with unorthodox methods of inquiry. Whether incorporated into mainstream scientific thought, or relegated by 21st century historians to the category of the pseudo- or even anti-scientific, these sciences generated conversation, enthusiasm, and controversy within Victorian society. 517 3 $aStrange Science, Investigating the Limits of Knowledge in the Victorian Age 606 $aScience and state$zGreat Britain 615 0$aScience and state 676 $a509.41/09034 702 $aKarpenko$b Lara Pauline 702 $aClaggett$b Shalyn R. 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166649203321 996 $aStrange science$92025105 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01254nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00439578 005 20231205104943.858 010 $a978-88-634-2491-1 100 $a20140514d2013 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aImmigrazione, asilo e cittadinanza universale$fa cura di Fabio Marcelli 210 $aNapoli$cEditoriale Scientifica$d2013 215 $aXII, 487 p.$d24 cm. 606 $aAsilo (Diritto)$3UONC051804$2FI 606 $aDiritto internazionale$xStranieri$xTrattamento$3UONC037214$2FI 620 $aIT$dNapoli$3UONL000012 702 1$aMARCELLI$bFabio$3UONV224009 712 $aEditoriale Scientifica$3UONV266359$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250207$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00439578 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI PUB 2.0 0253 $eSI 11398 5 0253 $sBuono 951 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$bSI2014154 1J 20140514Del Guercio (discipline internaz.) 996 $aImmigrazione, asilo e cittadinanza universale$91326833 997 $aUNIOR
