This 1993 book makes an important contribution to the growing studies of science and literature. It examines the relationship between British fiction and the tradition of mechanistic science, tracing the evolution of the concept of mechanism through analysis of novels by Austen, Scott, Dickens, Meredith, Conrad, Lawrence, and Doris Lessing.
