EVOLUTION (?, 1879). The British writer Samuel Butler, a contemporary and fierce enemy of Darwin, countered Darwin's mechanical, Newtonian view of evolutionary laws operating on inert living matter, with the idea that life, far from being inert, has "free will" and has used it to influence its own evolution.

British novelist and scientific popularizer. At first he was a convert to Darwinism, but by 1879 he had come to disbelieve the theory after reading Mivart's Genesis of Species. This led to a petty and bitter falling out with Darwin in which Butler accused Darwin of intentionally presenting without explanation a revised version of the German Ernst Krause's biography of Erasmus Darwin that featured a vociferous attack on Butler (Darwin had combined a translation with his own lengthy essay on Erasmus).

Canterbury Writers: Samuel Butler - English

shown in filters: Personalia

Samuel Butler spent only three years in New Zealand as a runholder in the headwaters of the Rangitata before returning to England, but the Canterbury experience gave him a significant base for a literary achievement of great distinction, and a well deserved reputation for irony and controversy. His most famous works, Erewhon, Erewhon Revisited and The Way of All Flesh made him a cult figure in Britain and a leader in the intellectual emancipation from Victorian values.
