  • Minakata Kumagusu in London

    Open AccessBernard Lightman, Ruselle MeadeARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2025

    The Japanese biologist and ethnologist Minakata Kumagusu has achieved a degree of celebrity in Japan for being the first Asian contributor to the British scientific magazine Nature . However, although Minakata's many contributions to Nature from 1893 to 1914 provided British readers with rare insight into Asian scientific achievements, he is seldom discussed in history of science scholarship produced by American, British and European researchers.…

  • Nineteenth-century Japanese and British science in context

    Open AccessBernard Lightman, Efram Sera–shriar et al.ARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2025

    This special issue focuses on the complex cultural connections between Japanese and British science in the nineteenth century. This was a period when intellectuals around the globe began to interact more intensively due to increased opportunities to travel and the growth in translations of important scientific works into many languages. This was also an era when, in the latter part of the century, Japanese intellectuals were searching for ways to…

  • One Hundred Years of Internationalizing the History of Science

    Bernard Lightman, Christine Y L LukARTICLEIsis2024Referências: 12

    This essay examines how internationalization has been a part of the history of the History of Science Society (HSS) from its establishment in 1924 to the present. Although the HSS remains a US-based society and its annual meetings are held primarily in the US, attended by mostly US-based scholars, we argue that there has always been a strong commitment to internationalism that continues to this day. We walk through the hundred years of the Societ…

  • The Metaphysical Society (1869-1880)

    Catherine Marshall, Bernard Lightman et al.BOOKMetaphysical Society2019

    The Metaphysical Society was founded in 1869 at the instigation of James Knowles, editor of the Contemporary Review and then of the Nineteenth Century , as a private dining and debate club that gathered together a latter-day clerisy. Building on the tradition of the Cambridge Apostles, the founding members elected talented men from across the Victorian intellectual spectrum: bishops, one Cardinal, philosophers, scientists, literary figures, and p…

  • Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines

    Bernard Lightman, Bennett ZonBOOKVictorian Culture and the Origin…2019

    Current studies in disciplinarity range widely across philosophical and literary contexts, producing heated debate and entrenched divergences. Yet, despite their manifest significance for us today seldom have those studies engaged with the Victorian origins of modern disciplinarity. Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines adds a crucial missing link in that history by asking and answering a series of deceptively simple questions: how did …

  • Popularizers, participation and the transformations of nineteenth-century publishing

    Open AccessBernard LightmanARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2016

    Focusing on the editors, journalists and authors who worked on the new ‘popular science’ periodicals and books from the 1860s to the 1880s, this piece will discuss how they conceived of their readers as co-participants in the creation of knowledge. The transformation of nineteenth-century publishing opened up opportunities for making science more accessible to a new polity of middle and working class readers. Editors, journalists and authors resp…

  • Scientific naturalists and their language games

    Open AccessBernard LightmanARTICLEHistory of Science2015

    For nineteenth century British scientific naturalists like Charles Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley, and John Tyndall, translation, and the issues of language that it raised, were crucial. Dealing with these issues became a major part of their strategy to reform British science, and it involved opening up the scientific community to French and German research. Early in their careers, both Huxley and Tyndall invested time translating science books from…
