Peter Garratt, Durham University, has worked extensively on mid-Victorian philosophy and literature at the intersection of the cognitive and empirical sciences. His book on Victorian Empiricism (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2010) showed the ways in which realist authors such as George Eliot worked in a climate informed by contemporary scientific philosophy. He has also published extensively on other Victorian authors and empirical philosophy, including Ruskin, Dickens, Gaskell and Vernon Lee.

This is the second volume in a three-volume collection of primary sources which examines philosophy and literature in nineteenth-century Britain. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of British Literature and Philosophy.
