摘要

The designation "Romantic science" might refer to a special kind of science or to the particular personalities who engage in science. In The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science, Richard Holmes succeeds admirably in pursing the latter meaning, though he has ambitions also to explore the former. Holmes, a biographer of Shelley, Coleridge, and Dr.rnJohnson, has woven together several tales of English scientists who ventured to exotic lands, flung themselves into love affairs, and wrote sonnets to science. The likes of Joseph Banks, William and Caroline Her-schel, Mungo Park, and Humphry Davy displayed, in the calmer English manner (even if the Herschels stemmed from Hanover), the kind of personalities that discovered the "beauty," if not exactly the "terror," of science. Holmes dishes up the faux terror in his chapter on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, although the wilder opinions of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who passes through his pages in a drug-induced ramble, are unsettling enough.
