Synopsis

It is rare nowadays to come upon an undeservedly neglected figure from Britain's Victorian age, but Hugh Miller (1802-56), the subject of this book, is certainly one such. Admired in his time by such celebrated thinkers as Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Carlyle, Hugh Miller's many books on science, literature and religion sold in tens of thousands of copies, winning admirers around the world. This collection of essays offers the first modern assessment of Miller, his life and work, and reveals one of the most fascinating and baffling men of his day. This book is intended for Student and professional : historians of 19th century Science, social historians and labour historians, historians of nineteenth century Britain.
