The 19th century witnessed a dramatic change in how the world and our place in it was perceived; from science to religion to humanity’s understanding of itself. This course explores the historiography of Victorian science and culture, looking in particular at travelling, classifying and writing. With travel and exploration new cultures were explored, natural history classified, medicine developed, museums established, evolution theories discussed and writings published.
