What is Strange Attractors : Literature, Culture, and Chaos Theory about?

Instead of seeing "high" literature and popular works as essentially at odds with each other, chaos science allows us to see various artistic and intellectual endeavors as a continuum allowing for disruptions, recursions, symmetries, and asymmetries. Hawkins (English literature, Oxford U.) explores the strange attraction among modern theories of deterministic chaos, mythic fiction such as The Tempest and Paradise Lost, and current works inspired by chaos theory, such as Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. A text for students of literature and cultural studies or those interested in the ways science and literature interact. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
