This book deals with reactions to geological discoveries in early
nineteenth-century England. How did theologians cope with new
scientific evidence of the antiquity of the world which was
contrary to accepted biblical chronology? And what repercussions
did this picture have on philosophers, poets and novelists?
The first part of the book concentrates on Charles Lyell's
religious and scientific views. This is followed by a study of
William Buckland, Adam Segdwick and William Whewell, three
clergymen who were also geologists. The last section explores the
literary reception of the revolutionary discoveries of Lyell and
his contemporaries.
