Novel Science

Description:

A study of the contributions that Charles Lyell, Adam Sedgwick, William Buckland, and others made to nineteenth-century British literary culture. Just as they had drawn inspiration from their literary predecessors Walter Scott and Lord Byron, these scientists influenced Victorian realist novelists such as George Eliot, Charles Kingsley, and Charles Dickens.
