Darwin the Writer
Darwin's enormous cultural success depended as much on the construction of his argument and the artistry of his language as it did on the power of his ideas. By exploring Darwin as a writer as well as a scientist, this book transforms our understanding of him, giving us a Darwin who is comic rather than tragic and ebullient rather than austere.

Über den Autor
Now a visiting professor at Gallatin College, New York University, George Levine is Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University, where in almost forty years of teaching Victorian literature and the study of the relations between science and literature, he combined his own passion for nature with his literary scholarship. His Lifebirds is an autobiographical narrative about birding, and his earlier books on Darwin, Darwin and the Novelists and DarwinLoves You, brought together that feeling for the natural with a feeling for literature. He has won many awards, like Guggenheim, NEH, and Rockefeller Foundation fellowships, and has been a fellow at the study centers in Bellagio and Bogliasco, as well as at Girton College, Cambridge and Northwestern University. He wasfounder of the interdisciplinary study center at Rutgers, The Center for Cultural Analysis.
