| Research Abstract |
"Microscopic eye" is a metaphor for the eye, unlike the naked one, that can see the infinite small, derived from Robert Hooke's Micrographia: or Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses, with Observations and Inquiries Thereupon (1665).
An Investigation is conducted into how "microscopic eye" permeates 18th- to 19th-century British culture, including literature, art hisotry, Pre-Raphaelites and natural history, and then detailed analyses are made of microscopic discourses in James Thomson, William Blake, Charlotte Smith, Alfred Tennyson (literature), Sir Joshua Reynolds (art history), John Ruskin (Pre-Raphaelites), Philip Henry Gosse and George Henry Lewes (natural history) with special reference to their historical background.
