Recenzii
“This superb study by Diarmid Finnegan focuses on British contributors to what was by the 1870s a well-developed lecture circuit in the United States, with a network of agents, advertisements, auditoriums, and newspaper reports that supported talks on just about any subject one could imagine. Finnegan provides an illuminating guide to this vital arena for promoting the natural sciences.” —British Journal for the History of Science
“Diarmid Finnegan’s eloquent book traces the itineraries of British men of science on the American lecture circuit in the second half of the nineteenth century. Drawing on deep archival research, he allows us to witness the performances of such luminaries as Tyndall, Huxley, and Wallace, who gave a voice to science while inadvertently stirring religious and political controversy.” —Jan Golinski, University of New Hampshire
“The Voice of Science is a fascinating account of popular science lectures and lecturers in nineteenth-century Britain and America. Finnegan writes with a clarity, liveliness, and poise that the subjects of this book would have appreciated. It is crucial reading for historians, geographers, sociologists, and others interested in the performance, affective power, and cultural meanings of science.” —Simon Naylor, University of Glasgow
