In his study of Erasmus Darwins major poetry, Priestman situates his literary works and Darwin himself within a network of other scientists, writers, thinkers and social movers and shakers. Positing a significant shift from the Enlightenments emphases on conceptual spaces to the Romantic periods emphases on historical time, Priestman gives Darwins polymathic Enlightenment worldview and cognate poetics their due in a period when texts are too often judged by their adherence to a retrospectively constructed Romanticism.
