Description

Explore how twentieth-century fiction grapples with humanity's place in an expanding cosmos through the lens of embodied experience and narrative theory. This Routledge academic study examines the literary imagination confronting scientific paradigms-from the Big Bang to quantum physics and evolutionary biology-that challenge conventional understanding of space, scale, and human perception. The book investigates the fundamental tension between fiction's grounding in the embodied human mind and the abstract, counterintuitive concepts of modern science. Through analysis of twentieth-century literary works, it reveals how writers navigated this cognitive and imaginative divide, creating narratives that bridge scientific discovery and human experience. Essential reading for scholars of literature, cognitive narratology, and the history of scientific thought in culture.
