Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Each of the essays has a sparkle and charm of its own… [they] take us into relatively unexplored regions and offer fresh insights into their own particular subject area.' —'Victorian Studies'
'Recommended for in-depth reading, which will surely offer illuminating insights beyond the range of specialised professional interests.' —'Anglistik: International Journal of English Studies'
Book Description
An enlightening, multi-disciplinary investigation into the biological sciences during the nineteenth century when fundamental discoveries in geology and physics dramatically destabilized the Victorian worldview.
