Charles E. Robinson, Professor Emeritus of English at The
University of Delaware, definitively transformed study of the
novel Frankenstein with his foundational
volume The Frankenstein Notebooks and, in nineteenth century
studies more broadly, brought heightened attention to the nuances
of writing and editing. Frankenstein and STEAM consolidates the
generative legacy of his later work on the novel's broad relation
to topics in science, technology, engineering, arts, and
mathematics (STEAM). Seven chapters written by leading and emerging
scholars pay homage to Robinson's later perspectives of the novel
and a concluding postscript contains remembrances by his colleagues
and students. This volume not only makes explicit the question of
what it means to be human, a question Robinson invited students and
colleagues to examine throughout his career, but it also
illustrates the depth of the field and diversity of those who have
been inspired by Robinson's work. Frankenstein and STEAM offers
direction for continuing scholarship on the intersections of
literature, science, and technology. Published by the University of
Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
Percy Bysshe Shelley's utopian vision was largely a product of the
tumultuous final quarter of the eighteenth century, when the
American, French, and industrial revolutions profoundly changed the
way in which social, political, and economic relationships were
viewed. In A Brighter Morn, noted Shelley scholars identify the
qualities of this unique brand of utopianism, which was a complex
and frequently conflicted blend of the personal, poetical, and
political realms. This collection of essays sorts through these
perplexities and discords, exploring Shelleyan utopianism in a
variety of contexts- place and placelessness, time and
timelessness, publicity and privacy, and physicality and
spirituality- and concluding with a snapshot of the Western psyche
at a crucial point in its development.
