In this episode, we welcome Dr. Trent Olsen as our guest scholar. He will be discussing the impact Charles Darwin’s discoveries and published work in The Origin of Species had on the wider 19th century. He discusses points of literary connection between Darwin, William Wordsworth, Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Pfeiffer, H.G. Wells, and Thomas Hardy as a spectrum of the shifting world views on humankind’s role in nature.
Dr. Olsen earned his doctorate at the University of Minnesota and is currently an associate professor at Brigham Young University-Idaho. In 2018 he published his book Wordsworth and Evolution in Victorian Literature: Entangled Influence with Routledge and a forthcoming book, The Complete Personal Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson (also with Routledge) due for publication in May 2021.
