The works of James Fenimore Cooper Volume 10: Jack Tier

THIS work has already appeared in Graham's Magazine, under the title of " Rose Budd." The change of name is solely the act of the author, and arises from a conviction that the appellation given in this publication is more appropriate than the one laid aside.

The works of James Fenimore Cooper Volume 32: Wyandotte

THE history of the borders is filled with legends of the sufferings of isolated families, during the troubled scenes of colonial warfare.

ThermoPoetics: Energy in Victorian Literature and Science

In ThermoPoetics, Barri Gold sets out to show us how analogous, intertwined, and mutually productive poetry and physics may be. Charting the simultaneous emergence of the laws of thermodynamics in literature and in physics that began in the 1830s, Gold finds that not only can science influence literature, but literature can influence science, especially in the early stages of intellectual devel…
