Reviews
“This title is a monograph … . It has a very detailed table of contents that make it easy to find Boucher’s discussions of individual topics and texts, and each chapter has its own conclusion and works cited. This makes Science, Medicine and Aristocratic Lineage in Victorian Popular Fiction easy to navigate and use in smaller pieces. This format also makes it ideal for classroom usage as a chapter can easily be excerpted from the whole.” (Ellen Stockstill, The British Society for Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, June 6, 2024)
