Super octavo hardcover (VG+), lacks d/w; all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently, they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.

Octavo (24cm); light brown boards, with titles stamped in black on spine; dustjacket; xii,273,[3]pp. Fine in a Fine, unclipped dustjacket (priced $12.50). A study examining "the lives of six late Victorians who, having abandoned the Christian faith, found the scientific naturalism popularized by T.H. Huxley and others an equally inadequate guide to life. These writers - Henry Sidgwick, Alfred Russel Wallace, Frederic W.H. Myers, George John Romanes, Samuel Butler, and James Ward - include two scientists, two philosophers, and two men of letters, a representative cross-section of the English intellectual community" (from front flap).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. xiv, 368 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. 'This volume of essays by a leading scholar of Victorian intellectual history reflects research, teaching and writing carried out over more than twenty years. Five of the essays are new; seven, although published previously, have been revised for this collection. The essays cover an extremely wide spectrum of Victorian thought, including the issues of secularisation, cultural apostasy, the crisis of faith, Victorian scientific naturalism, the conflict between science and religion, the relationship of science and politics, and the Victorian attitude towards the ancient world. Taken as a whole the essays constitute a major revisionist overview of the Victorian intellectual enterprise which will be of interest to scholars in a wide variety of fields' (Cambridge University Press Web site). Contents: Preface; Part I. Shifting Boundaries: 1. The religious and the secular in Victorian Britain; 2. Cultural apostasy and the foundations of Victorian intellectual life; 3. The crisis of faith and the faith that was lost; 4. The secularization of the social vision of British natural theology; Part II. Science and the Wider Culture: 5. Victorian scientific naturalism and Thomas Carlyle; 6. Rainfall, plagues, and the Prince of Wales; 7. The Victorian conflict between science and religion: a professional dimension; 8. Public science in Britain: 1880 1919; Part III. Moderns and Ancients: 9. British politics and the demise of the Roman public: 1700 1939; 10. Ancient materialism and modern science: Lucretius among the Victorians; 11. Virgil in Victorian classical contexts; 12. The triumph of idealism in Victorian classical studies; Index. Note: 20 of the 21 copies on ABE today (7/11/07) are the now well-known 'imaginary' listings. Cambridge says on its site that it is 'temporarily unavailable', and while a certain other major site claims to be able to supply it, I doubt it.
