    摘要、提要註: Fictions of Knowledge: Fact, Evidence, Doubt locates literature at the intersection of areas of thinking focused on the nature, scope and methods of knowledge: philosophy, theology, science and the law. The essays engage with literary texts across a wide range of periods and genres to address the continuities and paradigmatic shifts in certain key epistemological categories. These include questions of probability and certainty, problems of evidence, the uses of experiment, and the poetics and ethics of doubt. Through its interdisciplinary and diachronic explorations, the volume registers the way in which imaginative literature responds to the pressures of particular historical moments, at the same time as it charts a larger history of the relation between literary thinking and epistemic practices in other fields.
