The second session of the lecture series, Images in the Service of Science, will be held this week at the University of Burgundy. Presenting will be Richard Somerset from the University of Nancy 2 (France). Somerset focuses on the relationships between science and literature and the history of ideas in the 19th century. On Friday, he will discuss the work of Arabella Buckley in Telling the Story of Evolution in Images: The Popularising Work of Arabella Buckley.
An article written by Somerset about this topic can be read online at
Scientific Illustration Dijon, the informative new website created specifically for this lecture series by project coordinator, Marie-Odile Bernez. Please note that Somerset’s article is written in French. Fortunately, reading his article is easy thanks to the wonderful tools that help us translate text online.
While his paper may be in French, Somerset’s presentation will be given in English. As will the presentation by Marie-Odile Bernez about Richard Bradley’s
A Philosophical Account of the Works of Nature (1721).
