In 1818 Michael Faraday and a handful of other London artisans formed a self-help group with the aim of teaching themselves to write like gentlemen. For a year and a half Faradays essay-circle met regularly to read aloud and criticise one anothers writings. The Mental Exercises they produced are a record of the life, literary tastes and social and political ideas of Dissenting artisans in Regency London.This book is the first to publish the essays and poems produced by Faradays circle. The complete corpus of the essay-circles writings is accompanied by detailed annotations, extracts from key sources and a full-length introduction explaining the biographical, historical and literary context of the group. This edition will be valuable not only for historians of Romantic and Victorian science, but for literary scholars and historians working on early nineteenth-century writing, reading and class issues, and for all readers interested in the development of the mind of a great scientist.
