In this volume, a distinguished set of international scholars
examine the nature of collaboration between life partners in the
sciences, with particular attention to the ways in which personal
and professional dynamics can foster or inhibit scientific
practice. Breaking from traditional gender analyses which focus on
divisions of labor and the assignment of credit, the studies
scrutinize collaboration as a variable process between partners
living in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who were married
and divorced, heterosexual and homosexual, aristocratic and
working-class and politically right and left. The contributors
analyze cases shaped by their particular geographical locations,
ranging from retreat settings like the English countryside and
Woods Hole, Massachusetts, to university laboratories and urban
centers in Berlin, Stockholm, Geneva and London. The volume
demonstrates how the terms and meanings of collaboration, variably
shaped by disciplinary imperatives, cultural mores, and the agency
of the collaborators themselves, illuminate critical intellectual
and institutional developments in the modern sciences.
