A Review of “Fred Hoyle: A Life in Science”

Culkin’s treatment of Hosmer’s most significant romantic entanglement, with Lady Louisa Ashburton, is dwarfed in the final chapters by the artist’s other preoccupations: her engagement with women’s rights, her struggles with Americans’ embrace of French modernism over Italian classicism, her interest in spiritualism, and her obsessive quest to develop a perpetual motion machine, thereby laying claim to continued relevance in a culture increasingly preoccupied with science. Culkin’s engaging prose is appropriate for a general audience, and her portrait of Hosmer’s world of transnational exchange, opportunities for and relationships among women, and cultural nationalism has much to offer specialists in the history of American art, gender, culture, and sexuality.
