Description





It is during the nineteenth-century, the age of machinery, that we begin to witness a sustained exploration of the literal and discursive entanglements of minds, bodies, machines. This book explores the impact of technology upon conceptions of language, consciousness, human cognition, and the boundaries between materialist and esoteric sciences.

Editorial Reviews
Review

'Overall, this is a rewarding and well-assembled collection, required reading for anyone interested in the history of medicine and science as it relates to the history of literature. It suggests a community of scholars - mostly British and Australian, with a few North Americans - committed to an analysis of literature that foregrounds its relation to both embodiment and science.' - Tim Armstrong, New Books on Literature 19
