Resumen
Science Periodicals in Nineteenth-Century Britain is an engaging and wide- ranging edited collection on nineteenth-century science periodicals which will appeal to scholars of both the literature and the history of science of this period. A publication of the Constructing Scientific Communities: Citizen Sci- ence in the Nineteenth and Twenty-First Centuries project, funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, the volume is a welcome addition to the field of periodical studies and indeed offers an excellent introduction not only to the book but also to the discipline. It builds on existing scholarship from the volume’s editors and contributors (such as Science Serialized [2004], Science and the Nineteenth-Century Periodical [2004], and The Scientific Journal [2018]) to offer a step forward in the field.1 Science Periodicals is an interesting read for audiences from any of the specialisms on which the chapters touch.
