The 21st century is perhaps more fascinated by genius even than Galton's Victorian age, when geniuses like the poet Tennyson "were in full flower", recalled Virginia Woolf, with "long hair, great black hats, capes, and cloaks". Geniuses in the arts and sciences--the focus of this book--such as Leonardo and Newton, grip the imagination of generation after generation. So does the military and political genius of Napoleon, Churchill, and Gandhi, and the "evil genius" of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Genius is also a word lavishly applied to top performers in activities as varied as chess, sports, and music. Moreover, the accolade may not only be bestowed but also withdrawn by experts and the public, as the prize-winning and sensationally successful British installation artist Damien Hirst discovered.
