In this revisionary study, Will Tattersdill argues against the reductive 'two cultures' model of intellectual discourse by exploring the cultural interactions between literature and science embodied in late nineteenth-century periodical literature, tracing the emergence of the new genre that would become known as 'science fiction'. He examines a range of fictional and non-fictional fin-de-siècle writing around distinct scientific themes: Martian communication, future prediction, X-rays, and polar exploration. Every chapter explores a major work of H. G. Wells, but also presents a wealth of exciting new material drawn from a variety of late Victorian periodicals. Arguing that the publications in which they appeared, as well as the stories themselves, played a crucial part in the development of science fiction, Tattersdill uses the form of the general interest magazine as a way of understanding the relationship between the arts and the sciences, and the creation of a new literary genre.

Since first they emerged into the Victorian limelight, dinosaurs have fascinated generations of artists, scientists, and general readers. This book approaches their history from a literary-critical perspective, arguing that the enormous and enduring popularity of Mesozoic fauna offers a fresh way to understand the relationship between the arts and sciences. We tend to treat those two as opposites -- but dinosaurs, Will Tattersdill argues, cannot exist without an entanglement of both evidence and imagination. Tracing these entanglements across scientific works, literary texts, artworks, and museum displays of all kinds from the nineteenth century to the present day, this book suggests that the history of dinosaurs is one in which the boundaries between categories of knowledge, genre, and species are constantly being renegotiated.
