Edward Frankland: Chemistry, Controversy and Conspiracy in Victorian England Book

This is the first scientific biography of Edward Frankland, probably the most eminent chemist of nineteenth century Britain. Frankland discovered the chemical bond and founded the science of organometallic chemistry. A leading reformer of chemistry teaching, and a government adviser on urban water purity, he was knighted in 1897. A conspiracy of silence surrounding his origins as an illegitimate child explains his present obscurity. Professor Russell's authoritative study of a newly discovered collection of Frankland's private papers will be of great interest to chemists, historians and general readers concerned with the social fabric of Victorian England.Read More
