505 _aDarwin among the novelists -- Natural theology: Whewell and Darwin -- Mansfield Park: observation rewarded -- Darwin's revolution: from natural theology to natural selection -- Dickens and Darwin -- Little Dorrit and three kinds of science -- The Darwinian world of Anthony Trollope -- The perils of observation -- From Scott to Darwin to Conrad: revolution not evolution.
