Description: Considers the Relationship between the Development of Evolutionary Theory and Its Historical Representations

Review Quotes: Together, the essays genuinely open new ground, bypassing the well-worn field of what Darwin might have said, and the customary reception stories whether intellectual or popular, or coupled with particular social or religious groups. We are invited to imagine a Darwinian revolution that was multiple and contingent, not revolutionary but a highly significant stimulus contributing to history in various ways, and full of different meaning to different people. Congratulations to everybody involved.-- "Journal of the History of Biology"
