It examines how the science of astronomy in exploration and discovery, from Edmund Halley and William Herschel to Captain Cook, changed the world by tying the 'pure' science of astronomy to the practical, commercial, and martial aims of navigation for the maritime nation of England. It demonstrates that the same 'pure' science of astronomy also fueled the Romantic poetic imagination, influencing the evolution of form and content of poetry -- from formation of the greater Romantic lyric of Barbauld and Coleridge, to the fantastic narratives of Keats and Shelley"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.The First International Event and the First 'New' Planet: Expanding the Globe and Confronting Infinity -- 2.Barbauld: 'Embryo Systems and Unkindled Suns' -- 3.Coleridge: Herschel, and Cosmogonical Time -- 4.John Herschel and Mary Somerville: Astronomical Legacy and the Proprietary British Scientist -- 5.Astronomy and Empire: The Pathos of Demystification in Lamia and The Witch of Atlas -- 6.Rossetti: Reconciliation and Recursivity. 650 0 $a English poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and science $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Astronomy in literature. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Poetics $x History $y 19th century. 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in the Enlightenment, romanticism and cultures of print. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011805.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180201033831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFC40F4A6B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
