Gillian Beer''s classic Darwin''s Plots, one of the most influential works of literary criticism and cultural history of the last quarter century, is here reissued in an updated edition to coincide with the anniversary of Darwin''s birth and of the publication of The Origin of Species. Its focus on how writers, including George Eliot, Charles Kingsley and Thomas Hardy, responded to Darwin''s discoveries and to his innovations in scientific language continues to open up new approaches to Darwin''s thought and to its effects in the culture of his contemporaries. This 2009 third edition includes an important new essay that investigates Darwin''s concern with consciousness across all forms of organic life. It demonstrates how this fascination persisted throughout his career and affected his methods and discoveries. With an updated bibliography reflecting recent work in the field, this book will retain its place at the heart of Victorian studies. Less
