Detailed analyses of scientific, literary and philosophical texts show that from the late 18th to the late 19th century science and literature were bound to one another through an intricate web of mutual dependence and distinct yet incalculable difference. \u003cem\u003eThe Science of Literature\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that this legacy continues to shape the relation between literary and scientific discourses inside and outside of academia. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helmut Müller-Sievers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48260942725371,"sku":"9783110323948","price":157.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_b66f2bdf-8938-4e08-879e-ee193ea2252e.jpg?v=1778451375","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-science-of-literature-9783110323948","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
