Watchers of the Sky Alfred Noyes 9781545154298 Books
In its day this was an ambitious attempt at an epic poem, depicting the growth of astronomy in the face of great skepticism and outright hostility, through the careers of key figures in the birth of that science. The material is interesting and revealing, approaching each individual in turn with an intensely personal point of view. However, for today's reader the material is not as exciting as it must have been when Noyes wrote this, in the days before World War One. As biography, it is too poetic; as poetry, it is too biographical. Still, an interesting read.Product details
