Giants of the Past: Popular Fictions and the Idea of Evolution
Lisa Hopkins
Giants of the Past explores how ideas about evolution, initially seen as a major threat to the establishment of Victorian England, were rapidly co-opted in popular fiction and transformed from a revolutionary danger to a powerful bolstering mechanism for reactionary ideas, particularly in the areas of gender, sexuality, and race.
