Description

This Routledge publication challenges conventional narratives of the scientific revolution by centring the overlooked contributions of women and aristocratic dilettantes rather than focusing solely on celebrated figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. The book reveals how the development of science was shaped not just by rational progress but by social settings, gender dynamics, and cultural values that determined who could participate in scientific discourse. By examining the roles of female practitioners and non-professional natural philosophers, this work offers a fresh perspective on how Enlightenment-era science actually developed across European society. Ideal for historians, students of gender studies, and anyone interested in understanding the complex social foundations of scientific knowledge.

Key Features

Routledge academic publication offering a revisionist history of the scientific revolution beyond the traditional focus on male natural philosophers.

Explores the significant yet understudied contributions of women and aristocratic dilettantes to the development of Enlightenment science.

Examines the relationship between gender, culture, and scientific demonstration during the formative period of modern science.

Provides historical context for understanding how social settings shaped scientific discourse and participation in the 17th and 18th centuries.
