Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain

- The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Bag om Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain

Scholars have tended to portray T. H. Huxley, John Tyndall, and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution, these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain, and shifts the focus to include those who criticized this influential group of elite intellectuals.
