Transit of Venus Enterprise in Victorian Britain, The - Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century
Jessica Ratcliff
In the nineteenth century, the British Government spent money measuring the distance between the earth and the sun using observations of the transit of Venus. This book presents a narrative of the two Victorian transit programmes. It draws out their cultural significance and explores the nature of "big science" in late-Victorian Britain.
