A collection of articles on the cultural dynamics of the meeting of science and literature in Spain from the 19th to the early 20th century. These articles focus mainly on 1875-1906, a period in which two significant events occurred: the translation of Darwin and the dissemination of evolutionary theory, and the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the great Spanish scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934). This book takes a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, considering the cultural specificity of Spain and its European framework from the perspectives of linguistics, history, anthropology, and literature. The articles presented here investigate the discursive, stylistic, and ideological interactions between science and literature in many different ways, including the analysis of scientific-literary style in 19th-century realistic literature, the prosopographical study of cultural mediators (scientists, publishers, journalists, writers), and the exploration of the shifting borders between genres such as science fiction and fantastic literature.
