Strange Science : Investigating the Limits of Knowledge in the Victorian Age / Lara P. Karpenko, Shalyn Claggett. Strange Science, Investigating the Limits of Knowledge in the Victorian Age Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, c2017. 1 online resource (xiv, 293 pages :) illustrations; digital, PDF file(s). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file rda Includes bibliographical references and index. Also available in print form. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched. Strange Science: Investigating the Limits of Knowledge in the Victorian Age is an unprecedented collection that examines marginal, fringe, and unconventional forms of scientific inquiry, as well as their cultural representations in the Victorian period. Although now relegated to the category of the pseudoscientific, fields like mesmerism and psychical research captured the imagination of the Victorian public. Conversely, many branches of science that we now view as uncontroversial, such as physics and botany, were often associated with unorthodox methods of inquiry. Whether incorporated into mainstream scientific thought, or relegated by 21st century historians to the category of the pseudo- or even anti-scientific, these sciences generated conversation, enthusiasm, and controversy within Victorian society.
