"The Darwinian Heritage is truly a monumental achievement on the part of the contributors, the editors, and not least the publishers. The volume contains thirty-one papers written by an international community of scholars... The work drives home the point time and again that Darwin was a controversial thinker and writer, who worked best against a constant foil of criticism, although his scientific conclusions were carefully supported by empirical evidence."--K. N. Chadhuri, Journal of Biogeography "... a must for those interested in tracing the diverse origins of Darwin's thought and the role he played in the scientific community of his time."--Eric Delson, Recent Publications in Natural History "The anthology does more than incorporate scholarship of the past and is more than a comprehensive monument of present scholarship. It also programs future studies."--Charles S. Blinderman, Victorian Studies
