John Tyndall (182093) was one of the most influential scientists of the nineteenth century. Primarily a physicist, he was also one of a group of powerful intellectuals who defended Darwin against his critics. His correspondents read like a whos who of international nineteenth-century science and include: Charles Babbage, J D Hooker, Thomas Henry Huxley, Charles Lyell, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and Bertrand Russell. In the days before journal publishing was fully developed, the exchange of correspondence was a highly efficient way of sharing scientific research. This series will allow scholars to re-establish Tyndall amongst his contemporaries. Published serially with two volumes per year, this scholarly edition will ultimately present over 7,000 letters. The variety of his exchanges provides insight into Tyndalls interests and his politics, as well as documenting important events of the time. Each letter is newly transcribed, annotated and presented chronologically. An introduction to each volume is included and a consolidated index will appear in the final volume.

General Editors: Gowan Dawson and Bernard Lightman
The growing influence of science on Victorian culture can be seen in almost every aspect of life; from industry, urbanization and the spread of imperialism, to religion and the impact of Darwinism. In turn literature helped to shape the new sciences, with scientific discourses relying heavily on literary precedents. The editors have wisely focused on texts that are difficult to find. Each volume features an introduction that maps out the landscape within which the readings serve as markers. Highly recommended. CHOICE
