Excellent- More about The Trinity Circle: Anxiety, Intelligence, and Knowledge Creation in Nineteenth-Century England
The Trinity Circle examines the creation of knowledge in nineteenth-century England, where religion infused all ways of elite knowing. The rise of capitalism challenged this spiritual world, leading to an ongoing struggle between the Established Church and a quest for change.
Format: Hardback
Length: 296 pages
Publication date: 28 December 2021
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
The Trinity Circle delves into the genesis of knowledge in nineteenth-century England, a time when the concept of a distinctly modern science was still nearly a century away, religion permeated all aspects of elite understanding, and even those who disputed its significance found it challenging to disavow its influence. During this period, the emergence of capitalism, characterized by secular faith, political radicalism, science, commerce, and industry, posed a threat to this spiritual realm, challenging it with a superficial materialistic world driven by profit, consumption, and a pervasive belief in progress. In this intricate landscape, William J. Ashworth presents the politics of science within a highly contested context. By examining the Trinity College circle, led by the polymath William Whewell from Cambridge, he uncovers an ongoing conflict between the Established Church and a pursuit of transformative change to the prevailing social hierarchy. Ashworth's study offers a multifaceted perspective on science and religion during a time when new ways of thinking threatened to divide England and even the Trinity College itself.
