The Victorians are known for their commitment to materialism, evidenced
by the dominance of empiricism in the sciences and realism in fiction.
Yet there were other strains of thinking during the period in the physical
sciences, social sciences, and literature that privileged the spaces between
the material and immaterial. This book examines how the emerging
language of the “imponderable” helped Victorian writers and physicists
make sense of new experiences of modernity. As Sarah Alexander argues,
while Victorian physicists were theorizing ether, energy and entropy, and
non-Euclidean space and atom theories, writers such as Charles Dickens,
William Morris, and Joseph Conrad used concepts of the imponderable
to explore key issues of capitalism, imperialism, and social unrest.
