Description

This collection of essays by Bernard Lightman examines the influence of evolutionary naturalists like T.H. Huxley and John Tyndall during the second half of the 19th century. Challenging the conventional historical narrative, Lightman argues that historians have overstated the power of scientific naturalism in undermining religion's role in middle and late-Victorian Britain. Through rigorous scholarship, the book reassesses the cultural authority attributed to these defenders of Darwin and their theory of evolution, offering fresh perspectives on how scientific ideas shaped intellectual discourse during this transformative period. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of science, the relationship between science and religion, and Victorian intellectual history.

Key Features

Bernard Lightman's essay collection revisits the dominance of evolutionary naturalists T.H. Huxley and John Tyndall in Victorian Britain.

The book challenges historical assumptions about how effectively scientific naturalism undermined religious authority in 19th-century intellectual life.

Focuses on the biologist Thomas Henry and other evolutionary naturalists' roles in shaping middle and late-Victorian thought and society.

Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series, bringing together essential scholarship on the history of science and evolution theory.

Explores the intersection of Darwinian evolution, scientific secularization, and religious thought during the Victorian era.
