“In this clever study, Mangham […] explores how science and literature changed understandings of human difference during the 19th century. […]There’s as much science on offer as there is literary criticism, and Mangham proves he’s more than up to the challenge of teasing out the surprising overlap between the disciplines […]The result is a fascinating marriage of scientific history and literary analysis.”
