Recreating Newton Newtonian biography and the making of nineteenth-century history of science

Higgitt examines Isaac Newtons changing legacy during the nineteenth century. She focuses on 1820-70, a period that saw the creation of the specialized and secularized role of the scientist. At the same time, researchers gained better access to Newtons archives. These were used both by those who wished to undermine the traditional, idealised depiction of scientific genius and those who felt obliged to defend Newtonian hagiography. Higgitt shows how debates about Newtons character stimulated historical scholarship and led to the development of a new expertise in the history of science.
