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. 410 0$aAstrophysics and Space Science Library,$x0067-0057 ;$v419 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aHistory 606 $aPhilology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aHistory, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/700000 606 $aLanguage and Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory, general. 615 24$aLanguage and Literature. 676 $a820.9003 700 $aLevy$b David H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0121588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254636403321 996 $aThe Starlight Night$92544879 997 $aUNINA
