This volume highlights the connections that link both literary discourse and the discourse
about literature to the conceptual or representational frameworks, practices, and
cognitive results (the 'truths') of disciplines such as psychology, medicine, epistemology,
anthropology, cartography, chemistry, and rhetoric. Literature and the sciences, embedded
as they are in specific historical circumstances, thus emerge as fields of inquiry
and representation which share a number of assumptions and are determined or constructed
by several modes of cross-fertilization. The range of authors examined includes Richard
Brome, Margaret Cavendish, Aphra Behn, Shaftesbury, Defoe, Swift, Richardson and Smollett,
while emphasis is placed on how authors of literature regard the practices, practitioners
and findings of science, as well as on how 'mimesis' intersects with scientific discourse
