Joseph Berzelius (1779-1848), one of the world's leading scientists in the first half of the nineteenth century, dominated the field of chemistry, animated the cultural life of his native Sweden, and served for three decades as secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Despite his immense stature, modern studies have underestimated his significance. This volume remedies the scarcity of accessible, modern assessments of Berzelius by bringing to a broad audience the results of recent scholarship, and it offers an enhanced assessment of his originality and influence.

"...helps us considerably to see Berzelius's life and work in depth and in perspective." Alistair Duncan, Times Higher Education Supplement
"...an attractive collection of essays, offering significant new perceptions of Berzelius...chemists, historians of science and, indeed, anyone interested in those disciplines will find them of interest." Trevor H. Levere, American Scientist
"I recommend this multifaceted portrait of one of chemistry's most original and influential figures to a broad audience of chemists and historians of chemistry and of science." George B. Kauffman, Journal of Chemical Education
"...The aim of this excellent volume is to use the results of modern scholarship to replace the impoverished image of Berzelius and his chemistry with a keener appreciation of his contemporary significance...reflects admirably on the current state of Berzelius scholarship. It also promises to be an important focal point for future research into nineteenth-century chemistry for many years to come." John McEvoy, Isis
