摘要

My quartet of novels begins in 1953, the year of the coronation of the new Queen Elizabeth, and the year when Francis Crick and James Watson described the structure of DNA. In 1954 I went to Cambridge, which was later agitated by the 'two cultures' row between F. R. Leavis and C. P. Snow. That was a university-political battle. Leavis held a semi-religious belief that the study of English literature was at the centre of the idea of a university. As a young woman I felt that it was only possible to study literature and try to write it if one had no such exclusive semi-religious attitude. But it wasn't Snow's polemic that interested me in science — partly because he didn't say much about science, as opposed to its 'culture'. I had had a very narrow (possibly also thorough) education. In my final years at school, languages and literature. No science at all. But I found that the writers I cared about most were in I met a mat fact deeply interested in the scientific work of their time.

Snow之间的“两种文化”而激动不已。那是一场大学政治斗争。利维斯持半宗教信仰,认为英语文学研究是大学理念的核心。作为一个年轻女子,我觉得只有在没有这种排他性的半宗教态度的情况下,才有可能学习文学并尝试写作。但这并不是斯诺的论战引起我对科学的兴趣-部分原因是他对科学的看法不多,与科学的“文化”相对。我接受了非常狭窄的(可能也是彻底的)教育。在我上学的最后几年,学习语言和文学。完全没有科学。但是我发现,我最关心的作家是在我遇到的一个事实上,他们对当时的科学工作深感兴趣。
