The Victorian aquarium Literary discussions on nature, culture, and science【電子書籍】[ Silvia Granata ]

<p><em>The Victorian aquarium</em> explores the vogue for home tanks that spread through Great Britain around the middle of the nineteenth century. This book offers an example of how the study of a particular object can be used to address a broad spectrum of issues. The Victorian aquarium became in fact a point of intersection between scientific, technological and cultural trends; it engaged with issues of class, gender, nationality and inter-species relations; it drew together home d?cor and ideals of domesticity, travel and tourism, exciting discoveries in marine biology and tensions between competing views of science; it also marked an important moment in the development of a burgeoning environmental awareness. Through the analysis of a wide range of sources, including aquarium manuals, articles and fictional works, <em>The Victorian aquarium</em> unearths the historical significance of nineteenth-century tanks, reconstructing their far-ranging cultural resonance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
