The Romantic Imagination and Astronomy: On All Sides Infinity: Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print

Autor Kenneth A. Loparo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2015
In the nineteenth century the beauty of the night sky is the source of both imaginative wonder in poetry and political and commercial power through navigation. The Romantic Imagination and Astronomy examines the impact of astronomical discovery and imperial exploration on poets including Barbauld, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Rossetti.

Recenzii

“Informative and engaging, written throughout in a lucid style, and persuasive in its recovery of the contours of astronomical debate in the period, this book undoubtedly adds to our understanding of the place of astronomy in the cultural history of the romantic period and of the processes by which the modern scientific disciplines began to develop out of eighteenth-century ‘natural philosophy.’” (Cian Duffy, Journal for the History of Astronomy, Vol. 48 (1), February, 2017)
