Focusing on the editors, journalists and authors who worked on the new ‘popular science’ periodicals and books from the 1860s to the 1880s, this piece will discuss how they conceived of their readers as co-participants in the creation of knowledge. The transformation of nineteenth-century publishing opened up opportunities for making science more accessible to a new polity of middle and working class readers. Editors, journalists and authors responded to the communications revolution, and the larger developments that accompanied it, by defining the exemplary scientist in opposition to the emerging conception of the professional scientist, by rejecting the notion that the laboratory was the sole legitimate site of scientific discovery and by experimenting with new ways of communicating scientific knowledge to their audience.

重点介绍从1860年代到1880年代从事新的“大众科学”期刊和书籍的编辑，记者和作者，本文将讨论他们如何将读者视为知识创造的共同参与者。19世纪出版业的转型为新的中产阶级和工人阶级读者群体提供了使科学更容易获得的机会。编辑，新闻工作者和作者对通信革命及其伴随的更大发展做出了回应，通过拒绝与实验室是科学发现的唯一合法场所的概念相对于新兴的专业科学家的概念来定义模范科学家。并尝试以新的方式向观众传达科学知识。
