Abstract
In a 1990 essay, a leading scholar of literature and science opined: We shall not find in literature widespread reference to the ordinary doings of the sciences . . . reference to science in fiction . . . is nearly always to the scientist as a magical, isolated individual.… So when we look for the "scientist in literature" we shall not find him or her so much at the level of social description as at that of myth.
