Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Richard Owen (1804-92), one of the leading naturalists of nineteenth-century Britain, is best remembered as a renowned opponent of the Darwinian principle of natural selection. In this first intellectual biography of Owen, Nicolaas Rupke looks beyond the evolution dispute and presents the complete range of Owen`s scientific and intellectual achievements, portraying him as the founder of London`s monumental Natural History Museum, a leader in Victorian scientific reform, and, after Darwin, the leading naturalist of 19th-century Britain.
