The gap between the knowledge related to the field of literature and to that of science begins to widen at the end of the 19th century, and this separations gets more pronounced in the 20th century. However, already in the 19th century the relationship between natural science and literary science was subject of Rubén Darío’s attention, and for some time he saw them as closely related, working with the examples offered by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and G. H. Wells, on each of whom he wrote an essay. Towards the end of his life, Darío’s youthful enthusiasm for sciences dwindled.
