The book delves into the evolution of the masculine identity among scientific practitioners in nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain, centering on the British Association for the Advancement of Science. It investigates how the public perception of the 'man of science' transformed from a reclusive scholar to a fashionable gentleman and ultimately to a symbol of Victorian morality and meritocracy. By focusing on ideals of masculinity, it challenges previous cultural historical narratives that primarily examined science's role in perpetuating patriarchal structures.
