About the book

Richard Holmes's The Age of Wonder explores the relationship between science and Romantic culture in Britain during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The book follows figures including astronomers, chemists and explorers whose discoveries transformed understanding of nature. Holmes shows how scientific curiosity and imaginative wonder were closely connected rather than opposed.
