Science in the Romantic Era Paperback / softback
by David Knight
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Romanticism series
Paperback / softback
Description
First published in 1998. The Romantic Era was a time when society, religion and other beliefs, and science were all in flux.
The idea that the universe was a great clock, and that men were little clocks, all built by a divine watchmaker, was giving way to a more dynamic and pantheistic way of thinking.
A new language was invented for chemistry, replacing metaphor with algebra; and scientific illustration came to play the role of a visual language, deeply involved with theory.
A scientific community came gradually into being as the 19th century wore on.
The papers which compose this book have appeared in a wide range of books and journals; together with the new introduction they illuminate science and its context in the Romantic Era and follow its effects in the 19th century.
