Cover of the Penguin Classics edition of Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle"
The foreword by Janet Browne and Michael Neve made a strong impression on me.

Those books don't make a big show of the degree to which they're informed by wider historiography, but I've long found it uncanny/impressive how they manage to resonate with specialist literature on themes I happen to know about.

Janet Browne's volumes on Darwin are very atmospheric; they might be interesting in this regard.

Alain Corbin "Lure of the Sea" and Helen Rozwadowski "Fathoming the Ocean" are also good on 19th century shifts (reversals) in attitudes toward the beach and the ocean respectively. @oceanhistories.bsky.social

Regarding Victorians' views on/interest in nature (as they would have understood the term), there is a lot of work on the social history of natural history (including as a hobby for both sexes). For something closer to history of environmental attitudes, histories of coal pollution are promising.
