About this product
Product Information
The condition of modernity springs from that tension between science and the humanities which had its roots in the Enlightenment but only reached the height of its impact with the rise of twentieth-century technology. It manifests itself most notably in a crisis of individuality generated by the nexus of science, literature, and politics - a combination that challenges each of us to find a balance, within our personal identities, between our private and public selves in what is otherwise an estranging world. This challenge - "the struggle of modernity" - finds no better expression than in the life and works of C.P. Snow. In his career as novelist, scientist, and civil servant, C.P. Snow (1905-1980) attempted to bridge the disparate worlds of modern science and the humanities.

Reviews
"C.P. Snow and the Struggle of Modernity is engaging and challenging. Its scholarship is impressive. Intelligence and sensitivity inform the analysis of this complex and most crucial subject matter. It is a first-rate intellectual biography." Alkis Kontos, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. "an original, provocative, and convincing study ... significant not only in its own right as the most comprehensive study to date of Snow's life and works but also as a successful integration of the three principal areas of his life and works: literature, science, and politics." Howard P. Segal, Department of History, University of Maine.
