Abstract
Since the 18th century, the Experiment was used in literature as a way of finding new dimensions of poetry or inventing new plots. In doing so, literary texts often used scientific knowledge as a starting point for further explorations. Therefore, the experiment is a phenomenon where identities and differences between science and literature are negotiated.
