520    Victorians were fascinated by the flood of strange new 
       worlds that science was opening to them. Exotic plants and
       animals poured into London from all corners of the empire,
       while revolutionary theories such as the idea that humans 
       might be descended from apes drew crowds to heated 
       debates. Victorian Science in Context captures the essence
       of this fascination, charting the many ways in which 
       science influenced and was influenced by the larger 
       Victorian culture. Leading scholars in history, literature,
       and the history of science explore questions such as, What
       did science mean to the Victorians? For whom was Victorian
       science written? What ideological messages did it convey? 
       The contributors show how the practical side of science, 
       such as the choice of particular instruments an the manner
       of measurement, indeed the entire laboratory setup, 
       interacted with the social and cultural context to mold 
       Victorian science.
