The Poetry of Erasmus Darwin
Author: Martin Priestman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317020987
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
While historians of science have focused significant attention on Erasmus Darwin’s scientific ideas and milieu, relatively little attention has been paid to Darwin as a literary writer. In The Poetry of Erasmus Darwin: Enlightened Spaces, Romantic Times, Martin Priestman situates Darwin’s three major poems - The Loves of the Plants (1789), The Economy of Vegetation (1791) and The Temple of Nature (1803) - and Darwin himself within a large, polymathic late-Enlightenment network of other scientists, writers, thinkers and social movers and shakers. Interpreting Darwin’s poetry in terms of Darwin’s broader sense of the poetic text as a material space, he posits a significant shift from the Enlightenment’s emphases on conceptual spaces to the Romantic period’s emphases on historical time. He shows how Darwin’s poetry illuminates his stance toward all the major physical sciences and his well-formulated theories of evolution and materially based psychology. Priestman’s study also offers the first substantial accounts of Darwin’s mythological theories and their links to Enlightenment Rosicrucianism and Freemansonry, and of the reading of history that emerges from the fragment-poem The Progress of Society, a first-ever printed edition of which is included in an appendix. Ultimately, Priestman’s book offers readers a sustained account of Darwin’s polymathic Enlightenment worldview and cognate poetics in a period when texts are too often judged by their adherence to a retrospectively constructed ’Romanticism’.

Triquetra of the Universe
Author: Shanel Fulton
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398410071
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Venture into the mystical realms where dreams stir amidst the mists of time awaiting your discovery. The whisper of destiny beckons from the horizon, tempting your soul into the unknown. As the moon casts its glow upon the still waters, treasures of the deep arise to greet the night, revealing the heart’s stolen moments: a woman’s tender reminiscence of a love that slipped through the sands of time. Bound by broken promises, the chains of the past rattle, heralding the emergence of the Oracle’s salvation. The silver chalice of the Wiccan way stands solemn, casting blessings upon the hearth of souls, as temptation unfurls, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a man’s journey amidst the shades of truth and the sins veiled in the night’s embrace. The ancient Gaelic melodies of battle resound through the ages, serenading the goddesses of lost tales. Under the watchful eyes of summer’s blaze, betrayal’s sting festers, while deceit lays its cool touch with autumn’s descent. Amidst this eternal dance of fate and desire, a path of destined light unveils itself.
