"How do novels compare to social sciences? And what do James M. Barrie, William Golding, Anthony Burgess, S.E. Hinton and Donna Tartt have in common? In this dissertation, Maya Grünschloss examines the differences and similarities between the major works of those five novelists in connection to intentional and unintentional recourses to--and even anticipation of--psychological and sociological findings. By reference to the narrative turn in social sciences, she analyses how much actual science is to be found in narrative."--Page 4 of cover
