Abstract
Victorian chemistry and Victorian political theory are both constructed around a foundational analytic unit: for the former, it is the atom, and for the latter, the individual. Because the latter construct was actually the more robust of the two, Victorian chemists used the resources of art and literature to lend individuality to atoms, while literary writers used chemistry to suggest that the category of the individual might be no more than a fiction of liberal theory.
