As stated in the introduction: "It is during the nineteenth century, the age of machinery, that we began to witness a sustained exploration of issues to do with minds, bodies, machines." The subject continues to hold plenty of interest with the technological advances that are now part of everyday life. Editors Deirdre Coleman (English, U. of Melbourne, Australia) and Hilary Fraser (19th-century studies, Birkbeck, University of London, UK) have brought together nine contributions from scholars based in the two countries. A sampling of topics: machines of gothic fiction, the automaton in James Hogg's The Three Perils of Woman, artificial intelligence and why the body of the author matters, metaphors and analogies of mind & body in 19th-century science and fiction (George Eliot, Henry James, and George Meredith), and influenza and informatics in the late 19th century.
