| Research Abstract |
This study explored the ways in which English literary works and literary criticism in the 19^<th> century had been affected by the institutionalization of science and scientific education in the Great Britain. In the early 19^<th> century, many poets and authors of the English romantic area appreciated the intellectual power pursuing scientific researches as one that was realizing the amelioration of society, and they expressed the poetic vision of the unity of science and poetry in many ways. This study investigated various inflections of this poetic vision in the works of S. T. Coleridge and John Keats, in view of the development of the professionalism of science, for example, through the establishment of the British Society for the Advancement of Science. It also made clear that the evaluation of literary works had become dissociated from the scientific and social interests which however were actually integrated with those works.
