By Robert Bannister

"The so much systematic and finished attempt but made to evaluate the function performed by way of Darwinian principles within the writings of English-speaking social theorists of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries."

--Isis

"In trying to set the list directly, Bannister cuts in the course of the amalgam with an highbrow shredder, exposing the illogic and incompatibility focused on fusing Charles Darwin's at the beginning of Species with Herbert Spencer's Social Statics.... Bannister's familiarity with proper texts and their reception by way of modern social theorists, students, and critics on either side of the Atlantic is impressive."

--Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"A positive contribution to Anglo-American highbrow history."

--Journal of yankee History
