The Starry Sky Within: Astronomy and the Reach of the Mind in Victorian Literature
Henchman, Anna (Assistant Professor of English, Assistant Professor of English, Boston University)
The Starry Sky Within is an innovative study of previously unexplored connections between nineteenth-century astronomy and British literature. Nineteenth-century astronomers revealed a staggeringly mobile world extending far beyond the scope of human vision and Henchman examines how this discovery inspired the novelists of the day.
