  Science always raises more questions than it can contain. These challenging essays track encounters between science, literature, and other forms of emotional experience. Calling on nineteenth- and twentieth-century writing, including Darwin and Hardy, Gillian Beer throws new light on the rise of modernism, and on current controversies concerning science in culture.
