520    "Reflecting the modernist fascination with science, 
       Virginia Woolf's representations of nature are informed by
       a wide-ranging interest in contemporary developments in 
       the life sciences. Christina Alt analyses Woolf's 
       responses to disciplines ranging from taxonomy and the new
       biology of the laboratory to ethology and ecology and 
       illustrates how Woolf drew on the methods and objectives 
       of the contemporary life sciences to describe her own 
       literary experiments. Through the examination of Woolf's 
       engagement with shifting approaches to the study of nature,
       this work covers new ground in Woolf studies and makes an 
       important contribution to the understanding of modernist 
       exchanges between literature and science"--|cProvided by
