Science and Eccentricity: Collecting, Writing and Performing Science for Early Nineteenth-Century Audiences - Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century
Victoria Carroll
The concept of eccentricity was central to how people in the nineteenth century understood their world. This monograph is the first scholarly history of eccentricity. Carroll explores how discourses of eccentricity were established to make sense of individuals who did not seem to fit within an increasingly organised social and economic order.
