Edition Details: Lead Article in a Series: Atomism and Organic Chemistry in Context: Essays in Honour of Alan J. Rocke
Language: English
Historians of chemistry are indebted to Alan Rocke's prolific and groundbreaking scholarship on nineteenth century chemistry. During the last 36 years, in six books and nearly fifty articles, Rocke's work in the history of chemistry has set the standard for understanding and recapturing the lost worlds of nineteenth century chemistry in its intellectual, practical and institutional context. Rocke's work has ranged across the spectrum of nineteenth century chemistry. It includes the development of chemical and physical atomism, the emergence of the structural theory of organic chemistry, and the pedagogical, institutional, and social context of chemistry in nineteenth century Germany and France. Working in three languages and three countries, Rocke has repeatedly led the way toward a fully contextualized account of the development of atomism and organic chemistry in the nineteenth century.
