The concept of eccentricity was central to how people in the
nineteenth century understood their world. This monograph is the
first scholarly history of eccentricity. Carroll explores how
discourses of eccentricity were established to make sense of
individuals who did not seem to fit within an increasingly
organized social and economic order. She focuses on the self-taught
natural philosopher William Martin, the fossilist Thomas Hawkins
and the taxidermist Charles Waterton.
