Media reviews
'! a thoughtful discussion of the emergence of science as a major factor in the definition of Victorian civilisation.' Metascience '! at once a seminal vocational biography of the most prominent Victorian metascientist, and a penetrating study of the complex debate about the nature of science in nineteenth century Britain. It is a book no student of Victorian intellectual history can afford to ignore.' Isis
