Produktbeschreibung

""New Science, New World" is a sophisticated account concerning the contradictory pressures at work in the production of modernity. The story of the relations between the scientific and the literary is an original one, and it is told with an elegance that is consistently persuasive."--Catherine Belsey, Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory, University of Wales, Cardiff
