Darwin Loves You, bumper Sticker
One of the delights of returning to the town in which I will teach this year is a mailbox, filled to the brim with used books, ordered from used bookstores around the world. I ordered this book in early summer, mostly because of the subtitle, “Natural Selection and the Re-enchantment of the World.” My dissertation topic was on how biological discourses worked to emphasize the reproductive role of the bourgeois family in 19th and 20th century texts. This is a text that takes seriously Darwin’s metaphors in relationship to his argument about sexual selection.
