About the Book

This is the first academic biography of the scientist and politician Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893). Based on a vast range of primary sources in German, Italian, Dutch, French, and Latin, it not only sheds new light on the history of materialism in the natural sciences, but also shows the deep entanglement of science, politics, and popularization in 19th-century Europe. Applying new methods from cultural history and the history of science, Laura Meneghello focuses on processes of knowledge circulation, transnational mobility, and the role of translation in 19th-century science.

About the Author :
Laura Meneghello, geb. 1985, ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Professur für Europäische Wissens- und Kommunikationsgeschichte der Moderne am Historischen Seminar der Universität Siegen, wo sie an einem Habilitationsprojekt zur Geschichte des pneumatischen Transports vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart arbeitet. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind transnationale Kultur- und Wissensgeschichte sowie Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichte. Ihre am International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen) entstandene Dissertation wurde 2017 bei Transcript veröffentlicht mit dem Titel Jacob Moleschott - A Transnational Biography. Science, Politics, and Popularization in Nineteenth-Century Europe.

Review :
»A worthy successor to Frederick Gregorys landmark study of 1977 and a fine exemplar of the insight afforded by scientific biography.« »Meneghello provides an important contribution to the understanding of the interaction of biology and politics in the nineteenth century.« »Meneghello hat mit ihrer Moleschott-Biographie ein Desiderat geschlossen, das spannende transnationale Perspektiven hinsichtlich der Rolle, die (Populär-)Wissenschaft im Prozess des europäischen ›nation-building‹ spielte, aufzeigt.« Reviewed in: de Nederlandse Boekengids, 4/2 (2019), Ad Maas »Der Autorin [gelingt es] ein reiches und umfassendes Bild Moleschotts als Teil der Wissenschaftslandschaft seiner Zeit zwischen nationaler Sendung und internationalem Selbstverständnis zu zeichnen.« »With her biography of Moleschott, Meneghello has closed a desideratum that reveals exciting transnational perspectives on the role that popular science played in the process of European nation-building.« »Meneghello provides an important contribution to the understanding of the interaction of biology and politics in the nineteenth century.« »The author [succeeds] in drawing a rich and comprehensive picture of Moleschott as a member of the scientific landscape of his time between national coverage and international recognition.« »A worthy successor to Frederick Gregorys landmark study of 1977 and a fine exemplar of the insight afforded by scientific biography.«
