Description
Although the hard-nosed scientist and the dandy aesthete seem unlikely allies at first glance, Lindsay Wilhelm argues that Victorian evolutionism and the Aesthetic (or “art for art's sake”) Movement converged on surprisingly utopian ideas about beauty, pleasure, and the power of good taste to shape our society for the better.
