Ross-shire-born polymath Hugh Miller (1802-56) was famous in his
lifetime across the English-speaking world. After starting his
working life as a stonemason, he became a social commentator and
crusader and an inspiring (pre-Darwinian) writer on fossils.
Michael A. Taylor's biography - the first synoptic reassessment to
draw upon new research - was first published in 2007. It quotes
generous chunks of Miller's own still immensely readable writings
(he was known as 'the supreme poet of geology') and covers the full
range of Hugh Miller, from stonemason through geologist and editor
to private family man, with a surprising conclusion regarding his
suicide. This new edition has some minor amendments and a new
cover.
