She focuses on 1820-70, a period that saw the creation of the specialized and secularized role of the 'scientist'. At the same time, researchers gained better access to Newton's archives. These were used both by those who wished to undermine the traditional, idealised depiction of scientific genius and those who felt obliged to defend Newtonian hagiography. Higgitt shows how debates about Newton's character stimulated historical scholarship and led to the development of a new expertise in the history of science. 410 0$aScience and culture in the nineteenth century ;$vno. 2. 606 $aScientists$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScience$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aScience$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century$xHistoriography 606 $aBiography as a literary form 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aScientists$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory$xHistoriography. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 676 $a530.092 700 $aHiggitt$b Rebekah$01105333 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910528360703321 996 $aRecreating Newton$92628344 997 $aUNINA
