Peter W. Graham brings these two icons of nineteenth-century British culture into intellectual conversation by situating both writers in the empirical tradition. Employing trenchant analysis informed by a wealth of historical and biographical detail and recent work by historians of science, Graham's comparative study gives us a new entree into Austen's and Darwin's writings.
