Description

Explore how twentieth-century fiction engages with the vast scale of the cosmos. This scholarly work examines the tension between the human embodied mind and scientific models that challenge our common-sense intuitions. As technologies and scientific theories evolve, literature attempts to map the world beyond human experience. This book analyzes how narrative theory and cognitive science intersect with concepts like the Big Bang, quantum physics, and evolutionary biology. It addresses the fundamental difficulty fiction faces when trying to represent scientific ideas that appear discontinuous in space and time. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how the literary imagination navigates the complex relationship between human perception and the scientific realities of the universe.

Key Features

Examines the relationship between twentieth-century fiction and groundbreaking scientific models and technologies.

Analyzes how literature responds to concepts that resist human intuition, such as quantum physics and the Big Bang.

Connects narrative theory and cognitive science to explain how fiction handles non-human scales of existence.

Investigates the challenges of representing evolutionary biology and spatial discontinuity through literary means.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature series for academic and professional research.
