Duel at Dawn: Heroes, Martyrs, and the Rise of Modern Mathematics - New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine

Alexander shows how popular stories about mathematicians are really morality tales about their craft as it relates to the world. In the eighteenth century, he says, mathematicians were idealized as child-like, eternally curious; by the nineteenth century, brilliant mathematicians became Romantic heroes like poets, artists, and musicians.
