Romantic Natural Histories from Erasmus Darwin to Charles

As a recent resurgence in environmental writing demonstrates, human concern for the natural world has its roots in the nature writing and natural history of the 19th century. The writings of poets, novelists, and natural historians from this era suggest the extent to which 19th-century science connected to a wider Romantic sensibility. This volume gathers important--and often hard-to-find--scientific works with well-known works of literature and nature writing by authors such as Blake, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats.Nichols, Ashton is the author of 'Romantic Natural Histories from Erasmus Darwin to Charles', published 2003 under ISBN 9780618317677 and ISBN 0618317678.
