{"product_id":"darwins-plots-gillian-beer-9780521743617","title":"Darwin's Plots: Evolutionary Narrative in Darwin, George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Fiction","description":"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 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian Beer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521743613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521743617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Gillian Beer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616348926207,"sku":"9780521743617","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30accf7a-ebd9-4bc3-ac73-dc3e94d2a2a3.jpg?v=1703019855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darwins-plots-gillian-beer-9780521743617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
