Description The essays in this collection demonstrate how late-Victorian and Edwardian neurology and fiction shared common philosophical concerns and rhetorical strategies. Between 1860 and 1920, neurologists like Silas Weir Mitchell and Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote moving literature, while novelists like H.G. Wells and Wilkie Collins used fiction to dramatize neurological discoveries and their consequences. These six decades witnessed unprecedented interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and artists, who found common ground in their shared ambivalence towards the prevailing intellectual climate of biological determinism. Editorial Reviews Review 'Neurology and Literature is a wonderful addition to a developing critical field and readers with an interest in nineteenth-century sciences will find this instructive collection of essays both helpful and diverting...Its original and illuminating insights will, no doubt, be welcomed by critics working in this field.' - Vike Martina Plock, Modernism/Modernity About the Author ANNE STILES is Assistant Professor of English at Washington State University in Pullman, USA, where she teaches Victorian literature.
