Are Jane Austen and Charles Darwin the two
great English empiricists of the nineteenth
century? Peter W. Graham poses this question
as he brings these two icons of nineteenth-
century British culture into intellectual
conversation in his provocative new book.
Graham shows that while the one is generally
termed a naturalist (Darwin s preferred term
for himself) and the other a novelist, these
characterizations are at least partially
interchangeable, as each author possessed
skills that would serve well in either arena.
Both Austen and Darwin are naturalists who
look with a sharp, cold eye at the concrete
particulars of the world around them. Both
are in certain senses novelists who weave
densely particularized and convincingly
grounded narratives that convey their
personal observations and perceptions to
wide readerships. When taken seriously, the
words and works of Austen and Darwin
encourage their readers to look closely at the
social and natural worlds around them and
form opinions based on individual judgment
rather than on transmitted opinion.
Graham s four interlocked essays begin by
situating Austen and Darwin in the English
empirical tradition and focusing on the
uncanny similarities in the two writers
respective circumstances and preoccupations.
Both Austen and Darwin were fascinated by
sibling relations. Both were acute observers
and analysts of courtship rituals. Both
understood constant change as the way of the
world, whether the microcosm under
consideration is geological, biological, social,
or literary. Both grasped the importance of
scale in making observations. Both discerned
the connection between minute, particular
causes and vast, general effects. Employing
the trenchant analytical talents associated
with his subjects and informed by a wealth of
historical and biographical detail and the best
of recent work by historians of science,
Graham has given us a new entree into
Austen s and Darwin s writings.
