Engineering Romance in Late Nineteenth-Century Literature

This book brings together “two types of human activities that apparently differed greatly— engineering and romance writing” and explores their intersection in the works of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson.

The cover illustration is from Jules Verne's “From the Earth to the Moon”, first published in 1874.
