First published in 2003. Hewett Cottrell Watson was a pioneer in a
new science not yet defined in Victorian times - ecology - and was
practically the first naturalist to conduct research on plant
evolution, beginning in 1834. The correspondence between Watson and
Darwin, analysed for the first time in this book, reveals the
extent to which Darwin profited from Watson's data. Darwin's
subsequent fame, however, is one of the reasons why Watson became
almost forgotten. This biography traces both the influences and
characteristics that shaped Watson's outlook and personality, and
indeed his science, and the institutional contexts within which he
worked. At the same time, it makes evident the extent of his real
contributions to the science of the plant ecology and evolution.
