Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
William Henry Hudson is known best as the author of romances set in South America, essays praising the English countryside, and as a devoted bird preservationist. Yet few realize that Hudson spent the first ten years of his adulthood as a bird collector and amateur scientist in the wilds of his homeland, Argentina. Using a biographical approach, this thesis focuses on Hudson’s early career as a naturalist. It will examine his role within the scientific community to contextualize the increased professionalization of science during the mid-nineteenth century, concentrating on the tension between observation-based naturalists and society-based professional scientists.
