Though some times a bit hard to slog through, there were some fantastic observations and really enlightening comments about perceptions of evolution and nineteenth century thought and literature. M.k. Yost

Ignite my curiosity about Origin. Time to finally read the 19th century book after claiming to be doing history of ecology for years! CL Chu

rated it: 4.0 from 5.0

I generally admire Beer as a scholar, but I think I’ve already imbibed most of what she’s argued here through other means. She reads Darwin and his theory of evolution for that moment in the 19th century when theory poses on the boundary between fiction and fact. She traces the ways that Darwin’s thinking impacts Victorian thought generally, and then looks at his theory’s influence on Eliot and Hardy especially. Erica
