A central figure: society life in the 1870s
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores how Dresser consolidated his position in scientific society through the 1870s, when he was working on A History of the Birds of Europe. He and his colleagues ‘ran’ English ornithology, being an elite club of wealthy, ambitious and immensely able ornithologist–collectors. Many of the leading figures lived together in a London townhouse as a kind of bachelor club, before they married and settled down. The chapter explores the power relationships that existed between ornithologists in London and those in far-flung places, taking Dresser’s relationship with Edwin Brooks as an example. Dresser’s ongoing contribution to bird conservation is explored. Some notable debates and disagreements in which Dresser was involved are explored, notably disputes over what scientific names bird should be known by, and relationships with Sharpe at the British Museum (Natural History). The chapter concludes with discussion of Dresser’s marriage and settling down.
