Reviews
“This lively collection is valuable for its placement of literary criticism alongside scholarship on public engagement with science. It grants to authors a more nuanced understanding of the various dimensions of scientific personnel and practice than critics have previously acknowledged, and it offers such texts as spaces where the reading public can engage with questions concerning the nature of science.” —Charlotte Sleigh, author of Literature and Science
“By examining the creative space opened up by science novels, the book helps, in turn, to open up and establish an interdisciplinary space. Under the Literary Microscope is both an introduction and a valuable contribution to the study of the relationship between science, society and fiction.” —Peter Broks Public Understanding of Science “This lively collection is valuable for its placement of literary criticism alongside scholarship on public engagement with science.
