520 |a "Reading with the Senses shows how major Victorian novelists, aesthetes, and scientists dramatically revised their understanding of reading and sensory perception in light of nineteenth-century scientific work in psychology, physiology, and physics.

Coombs shows how the effects of this radical literary empiricism continue to reverberate in our own moment, when a descriptive turn in the humanities has pushed literary critics to align their reading practices with scientific methods of observation"--  |c Provided by publisher.
