Description

Explore the connection between science and literature in Thomas Hardy's Novel Universe. Published by Routledge as part of The Nineteenth Century Series, this work represents the first book-length study of astronomy within Hardy's writing. Historian of science and literary scholar Pamela Gossin applies analytical tools from both disciplines to provide deep readings of seven specific novels. This study offers new perspectives on Hardy's work by integrating Darwinian and feminist views. It moves beyond standard formalist evaluations to offer fresh interpretations of his most enigmatic passages and scenes. By bridging the gap between literary studies and the history of science, Gossin provides a sophisticated look at how cosmology and gender function in a post-Darwinian world. This book is an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the intersection of scientific history and Victorian literature.
