Sha shows how the imagination functioned within physics and chemistry in Prometheus Unbound, neurology in Blake's Four Zoas, physiology in Coleridge's Biographia Literaria, and obstetrics and embryology in Frankenstein. Sha also shows how the imagination was used in the scientific community, highlighting as primary examples the work of Davy, Faraday, Priestley, Kant, Mary Somerville, Oersted, Marcet, Swedenborg, Blumenbach, Buffon, Erasmus Darwin, and Von Baer, among others. Both fields profited from thinking about how the imagination could cooperate with reason and how hypotheses that had the possibility of actuality could benefit their work" --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDiscoveries in science$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aImagination in literature 606 $aScience in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiscoveries in science$xHistory 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aImagination in literature. 615 0$aScience in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/356 700 $aSha$b Richard C.$01097556 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524881003321 996 $aImagination and Science in Romanticism$92618012 997 $aUNINA
