Defining knowledge -- pt. 2. Ordering nature -- pt. 3. Practicing science.Victorians were fascinated by the flood of strange new worlds that science was opening to them. Exotic plants and animals poured into London from all corners of the Empire, while revolutionary theories such as the radical idea that humans might be descended from apes drew crowds to heated debates. Men and women of all social classes avidly collected scientific specimens for display in their homes and devoured literature about science and its practitioners. Victorian Science in Context captures the essence of this fascination, charting the many ways in which science influenced and was influenced by the larger Victorian culture. Contributions from leading scholars in history, literature, and the history of science explore questions such as: What did science mean to the Victorians? For whom was Victorian science written? What ideological messages did it convey? The contributors show how practical concerns interacted with contextual issues to mold Victorian science-which in turn shaped much of the relationship between modern science and culture.ScienceGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainSocial conditions19th centuryvictorianism, victorian period, science, scientific studies, scientists, humanities, fascination, engagement, cultural study, culture, ideology, ideological approach, great britain, british history, historical contexts, 19th century, social conditions, knowledge, economics, biology, biological, politics, political, charles darwin, evolution, darwinism, satire, literature, race, fiction, literary, representation, working environments, zoology, empire, colonialism.ScienceHistory306.4/5/094109034TB 2370rvkLightman Bernard V.1950-731624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785671103321Victorian science in context3761616UNINA02153nam0 2200421 i 450 VAN005493020240221033557.22335-401-5281-4978-35-401-5281-120061030d1987 |0itac50 baengDE|||| |||||Geometries and groupsV.
