Description

Explore the surprising history of the quest to find longitude at sea during the eighteenth century. This book from Liverpool University Press examines how a complex scientific problem became part of the cultural fabric of London. Rather than focusing solely on maritime navigation, this work investigates the social impact of longitude through literature, art, and public discourse. Through an analysis of diagrams, engravings, novels, plays, and poems, the text uncovers the social anxieties and satires that shaped public understanding of this scientific challenge. From the visual details in William Hogarth's 1735 prints to the broader discussions on paper, this history provides a unique look at how eighteenth-century worlds processed scientific advancement and its place in society.
