Objectivity
The term 'objectivity' has shifted in meaning over time and continues to be contested in terms of both meaning and value.The first appearance of the noun form in English in 1803 suggests both renewed interest in the term and its at least temporary undoing.Reviewing Charles de Villers's Philosophie de Kant in the Edinburgh Review, the Scottish philosopher and poet Thomas Brown remarked that philosophy, 'using reason to correct the false representa…
Biologisms on the left and the right
Victorian Britain saw the rise of biologism, the practice of attributing biological cause to that which is explicable either wholly or in part by environment. Its most extreme expression was eugenics, first disseminated by Galton through Macmillan's Magazine in 1865. I explore early British eugenics as a biologistic discourse centred on class which took aim primarily at the "residuum", or "submerged tenth", the section of the working class allege…
A Global Hardy
‘A Global Hardy’ seeks to situate the fiction of Hardy's Wessex in a network of international exchange. It explores the part played by empire in his fiction, the value he placed on cultural dialogue, his objections to imperialism and patriotism, and the modernist multiplicity of perspective to be found in The Dynasts , as well his awareness of the limits of moves between languages and cultural contexts. In examining the circulation of Hardy's wor…

After Darwin
‘What is emotion?’ pondered the young Charles Darwin in his notebooks. How were the emotions to be placed in an evolutionary framework? And what light might they shed on human-animal continuities? These were among the questions Darwin explored in his research, assisted both by an acute sense of observation and an extraordinary capacity for fellow feeling, not only with humans but with all animal life. After Darwin: Animals, Emotions, and the Mind…
Introduction
Against finality
A few years ago it was widely reported that girls really do prefer pink. Scientists have apparently proved it. The stories drew on a study published in Current Biology 2 in which two neuroscientists ‘report a robust, cross-cultural sex difference in color preference’ and suggest links to the evolution of sex-specific behaviour.3 The Telegraph remarked, ‘the reason could have its origins in the hunt for food on the African savannah millennia ago’4…

Love and Eugenics in the Late Nineteenth Century
The idea of eugenics - human selective breeding - originated in Victorian Britain in response to the urban poor. Darwin's evolutionary theory had laid the foundations for eugenics, replacing paradise with primordial slime. Man had not fallen from Grace, but risen from the swamps. And, as architect of his own destiny, he might rise still further. Eugenics was developed by Darwin's cousin Francis Galton in the 1860s. Embracing the idea of evolution…
