KMO promptly ferrets out a (tongue in cheek) response to Darwin... kent-maps.online//19c/19c-da…

Martin and I had great fun writing the introductory essay for this, and are very grateful to the contributors and to VR editor Jan Schroeder (herself a contributor). We hope it will help get people talking about Victorian talk.
