In this updated second edition renowned amateur comet-searcher
David H. Levy expands on his work about the intricate relationship
between the night sky and the works of English Literature. This
revised and expanded text includes new sections on Alfred Lord
Tennyson and Gerald Manley Hopkins (both amateur astronomers),
extending the time period analyzed in the first edition from early
modern literature to encompass the Victorian age. Although the sky
enters into much of literature through the ages, British authors
offer an especially fertile connection to the heavens, and Levy
links the works of seminal authors from Shakespeare on to specific
celestial events and scientific advances. From the impact of comets
and supernovae to eclipses, Levy's ultimate goal in this book is to
inspire his readers to do the same thing as their ancestors did so
long ago-look up and appreciate the stars. His insights in this
revised book spread farther and wider than ever before in this
learned and enchanting tour of the skies.
