not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young, doodling Greek and Latin
phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls
of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society, attended the theatre and
learned to dance and play the flute. In addition, he was an accomplished horseman. However, his personal
life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.
Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804, and according to Robinson, "their marriage was a happy one
and she appreciated his work," Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through
some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow
to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities of Young's relationships with his mother and
father. Robinson does not credit them, or anyone else, with shaping Young's extraordinary mind. Despite the
lack of details concerning Young's relationships, however, anyone interested in what it means to be a genius
should read this book.
