Zusammenfassung

The opposition between poetry and science is a commonplace of nineteenth-century criticism, which still reverberates today. For the Victorians, this conflict derived its urgency from an understanding of poetry which rooted its essence in truth, and thus brought it into direct competition with science. Meanwhile, various juxtapositions and reconciliations of poetry and science involved frequently contradictory definitions of their central terms and their respective epistemological claims. With science’s increasing success in establishing uniform abstract laws, concepts of poetic truth retrenched and shifted ground. A close attention to the terms in which the contrast between science and poetry was framed by the Victorians serves as a caution against easy assumptions about their meanings and unsettles clear distinctions between poetic idealism and scientific positivism.
