Science and Whig Manners (eBook, PDF)

Science and Political Style in Britain, c. 1790-1850

Beschreibung

Approaching the intersection of politics and science from the perspective of political history, this book looks at how nineteenth-century British Whigs used the themes of natural science to signal their identities, and how their devotion to a culture of liberality helped to define them. Offers a fresh take on a central theme in Victorian politics.
