Notes and Records: The Royal Society Journal of the History of Science
Volume: 63
Pages: 211--213
Edition Details: Introduction to a special issue.
Language: English
Someone whose activities embraced so many domains deserved better than the lengthy but rather lacklustre volume of Memoirs of the life of Thomas Beddoes M.D. that a former assistant, John Edmonds Stock, published in 1811. Yet it was not until the 1980s that Beddoes attracted sustained scholarly attention. The seven articles in this special issue of Notes and Records of the Royal Society, based on papers delivered at a conference at the Royal Society on 12 December 2008, reflect the continuing tide of interest, treating some (though not all) of the many worlds in which Beddoes made his mark.
