Winner of the Frank Watson Prize in Scottish History, 2011 The
relationship between science and civil society is essential to our
understanding of cultural change during the Victorian era. Science
was frequently packaged as an appropriate form of civic culture,
inculcating virtues necessary for civic progress. In turn, civic
culture was presented as an appropriate context for enabling and
supporting scientific progress. Finnegan's study looks at the
shifting nature of this process during the nineteenth century,
using Scotland as the focus for his argument. Considerations of
class, religion and gender are explored, illuminating changing
social identities as public interest in science was allowed - even
encouraged - beyond the environs of universities and elite
metropolitan societies.
