"A marvellous achievement. . . . Owen comes into clearer focus than ever before. . . . Rupke does us great service in restoring parts of the Victorian world usually neglected in favour of the quest for origins."—Janet Browne, Times Literary Supplement
(Janet Browne TLS )
"Riveting. In relating bitter Victorian debates Rupke shows how science affected great social and religious questions still urgently relevant today."—Financial Times
(Financial Times )
"One of the many strengths of Rupke''s impressive book is the way in which the institutional framework is convincingly integrated with the style and content of Owen''s science. . . . This is carefully documented, exciting, and convincing history."
(Metascience )
