г
A surprising number of Victorian scientists wrote poetry.
Many came to science as children through such games and
toys as the spinning-top, soap-bubbles and mathematical
puzzles, and this playfulness carried through to both their
professional work and writing of lyrical and satirical verse.
This is the first study of an oddly neglected body of work that
offers a unique record of the nature and cultures of Victorian
science, Such figures as the physicist James Clerk Maxwell toy
with ideas of nonsense, as through their poetry they strive to
delineate the boundaries of the new professional science and
discover the nature of scientific creativity. Also considering
Edward Lear, Daniel Brown finds the Victorian renaissances
in research science and nonsense literature to be curiously
interrelated. Whereas science and literature studies have
focused mostly upon canonical literary figures, this original
and important book conversely explores the uses to which
literature was put by eminent Victorian scientists.
