1. Introduction -- 2. Wordsworth, Humphry Davy, and the Forms of Nature -- 3. Quotation and the Rhetoric of Experiment -- 4. Words and Things in the Periodical Press -- 5. Tennyson's Sounds -- 6. Mathilde Blind: Rhythm, Energy, and Revolution -- 7. Hardy's Measures.

Poetical Matter examines the two-way exchange of language and methods between nineteenth-century poetry and the physical sciences. The book argues that poets such as William Wordsworth, Mathilde Blind, and Thomas Hardy identified poetry as an experimental investigation of nature's materiality. It also explores how science writers such as Humphry Davy, Mary Somerville, and John Tyndall used poetry to formulate their theories, to bestow cultural legitimacy on the emerging disciplines of chemistry and physics, and to communicate technical knowledge to non-specialist audiences. The book's chapters show how poets and science writers relied on a set of shared terms ("form," "experiment," "rhythm," "sound," "measure") and how the meaning of those terms was debated and reimagined in a range of different texts.
