The Romantic Era was a time when society, religion and other beliefs, and science were all in flux. The idea that the universe was a great clock, and that men were little clocks, all built by a divine watchmaker, was giving way to a more dynamic and pantheistic way of thinking. A new language was invented for chemistry, replacing metaphor with algebra; and scientific illustration came to play the role of a visual language, deeply involved with theory. A scientific community came gradually into being as the 19th century wore on. The papers which compose this book have appeared in a wide range of books and journals; together with the new introduction they illuminate science and its context in the Romantic Era and follow its effects in the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237476130967,"sku":"9781138644441","price":8300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138644441.webp?v=1769216674","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/science-in-the-romantic-era-9781138644441","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
