This book provides a panoramic view from 1927-1938 of the
development of a physical theory that has been on the cutting-edge
of theoretical physics ever since P. A. M. Dirac's quantization of
the electromagnetic field in 1927: quantum electrodynamics. Like
the classic papers chosen for this volume, the introductory
Frame-Setting Essay emphasizes conceptual transformations which
carried physicists to the threshold of renormalization theory. The
published papers and correspondence of Bohr, Heisenberg, Dirac and
Pauli provide a fascinating analysis of the meaning and structure
of a scientific theory. This book goes beyond the historical and
philosophical into current physics. Unavailability of
English-language versions of certain key papers, some of which are
provided in this book, has prevented their implications from being
fully realized. Awareness of research from sixty years ago could
well provide insights for future developments.
