The Age of Doubt by Christopher Lane
The Victorian era was the first great 'Age of Doubt' and a critical moment in the history of Western ideas. In portraits of scientific, literary, and intellectual icons who challenged the prevailing religious orthodoxy, this book demonstrates how they and other Victorians succeeded in turning doubt from a religious sin into an ethical necessity.
"'Lane asks the right questions of the doubting pundits, past and presentEasy to read and rendering complicated ideas accessible, his book is an altogether admirable study.' (Edward Norman, Literary Review)"
Christopher Lane is professor of English at Northwestern University and a recent Guggenheim fellow. He lives in Chicago.
