Where it came from
Published in 2015 by Routledge, this volume serves as a critical re-examination of the intellectual battles fought by the Victorian novelist and critic Samuel Butler. David Gillott situates Butler within the contentious scientific landscape of the late nineteenth century, specifically focusing on his staunch defense of Lamarckian evolutionary theory against the rising dominance of Neo-Darwinian thought.
Gillott’s scholarship aims to bridge the gap between literature and the history of science, arguing that Butler’s critique of the scientific establishment was driven by a genuine philosophical concern regarding the role of teleology and agency in evolution. The work has been received by academic circles as a nuanced contribution to the study of Victorian intellectual history, noted for its careful mapping of Butler’s polemical strategies against professional biologists like Charles Darwin.
