Interdisciplinary work has long been the refuge of those trying to break apart the single author/single field complex. But at the most, perhaps the first and sometimes the second of these categories is challenged or broadened; usually interdisciplinary work approaches the interpretation of a text, no matter how broadly defined, by using a methodology imported from another discipline. A researcher may find it useful to privilege one field in order…

There are several points to be raised which explain why the nature of scientific writing can be discussed in the context of literary studies and not only in the history or philosophy of science. A simple example is found in a group of works that come from the …
