Recent criticism is now fully appreciating the nuanced and complex
contribution made by Dissenters to the culture and ideas of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain. This is the first
sustained study of a Dissenting family - the Aikins - from the
1740s to the 1860s. Essays by literary critics, historians of
religion and science, and geographers explore and contextualize the
achievements of this remarkable family, including John Aikin
senior, tutor at the celebrated Warrington Academy, and his
children, poet Anna Letitia Barbauld, and John Aikin junior,
literary physician and editor. The latter's children in turn were
leading professionals and writers in the early Victorian era. This
study provides new perspectives on the social and cultural
importance of the family and their circle - an untold story of
collaboration and exchange, and a narrative which breaks down
period boundaries to set Enlightenment and Victorian culture in
dialogue.
