Hence, the rivalling influences of the historical sciences and of the life sciences on literary texts are explored, texts from various scientific domains – medicine, natural history, biology, history, and multiple forms of vulgarisation – are investigated. Literary texts are analysed in their participation in and transformation of the scientific imagination. Special attention is accorded to the temporal dimension: this allows for an innovative account of key concepts of 19th century culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Authors    Introduction   Niklas Bender and Gisèle Séginger    Part 1: Rethinking the Order of Time    From Biblical Time to Darwinian Time: Discourses on the Living World in the 18th and 19th Centuries   Pascal Duris    Memory Strata, Geology and Change of Historical Paradigm in France around 1830   Paule Petitier    Devilish Words: Pierre Boitard, “maître Georges” and the Advance  of Nature   Claude Blanckaert    From Biological Time to Historical Time: the Category of “Development” (Entwicklung) in the Historical Thought of Herder, Kant, Hegel, and Marx   Christophe Bouton    “O man! wilt thou never conceive that thou art but an ephemeron?”: the Reception of Geological Deep Time in the Late 18th Century   David Schulz    Part 2: Atavism and Heredity    The Law of Progress, Atavism, and Prehistory in the Belle Époque   Arnaud Hurel    Nietzsche, or Culture Put to the Test at the Timescale of Heredity   Emmanuel Salanskis    Zola, Hereditability of Character and Hereditability of Deviation: After a Remark by Bergson in L’Évolution Créatrice   Arnaud François    Life, Sex and Temporality in Zola’s La Faute de l’Abbé Mouret   Rudolf Behrens    Part 3: Nature and Culture    Time of History and Time of Nature in the Historical Novels of  Victor Hugo   Niklas Bender    Historical Time, Cultural Time, and Biological Time in Baudelaire   Thomas Klinkert    Evolution and Time in the Chants de Maldoror   Frank Jäger    Memory of the Body in Proust: Historical Time and Biological Time   Edward Bizub    Part 4: Poetics of Time    The Poetics of Restored Time: Balzac, His Age and the Figure of Cuvier   Hugues Marchal    The Evolution of Social Species in Balzac’s Comédie humaine   Sandra Collet    Time as Imagined in the Evolutionary Epic   Nicolas Wanlin    Evolutionism and Successivity in Antediluviana, Poème géologique by Ernest Cotty (1876)   Yohann Ringuedé    End of the World, End of Time: the Theory of Evolution and Its Fate in the Novel of Anticipation   Claire Barel-Moisan    A Biologist Literary History: August Wilhelm Schlegel and the Franco-German Natural Sciences   Stefan Knödler    Part 5: Biology and Ideology    Evolutionary Time and Revolutionary Time (Michelet, Flaubert, Zola)   Juliette Azoulai    Michelet and La Mer: Biology and the Philosophy of History   Gisèle Séginger    “Il faut manger et être mangé pour que le monde vive”: the Zolian Belly amidst Evolution, Revolution, and Convolutions   Carine Goutaland    Gobineau’s Heroes Are Ageless   Pierre-Louis Rey    Darwinus anarchistus explodens: Science and the Legend of the Struggle for Life (Louise Michel)   Claude Rétat  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210759692631,"sku":"9789004381377","price":144.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/biological-time-historical-time-transfers-and-transformations-in-19th-century-literature-9789004381377","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
