A man of science and a poet: Humphry Davy’s letters, life, and legacy
This project will explore the relationship between science, society and culture, then and now, through the life and letters of one of Britain’s foremost scientists. “Between October and December 1815, Davy invented a form of miners’ safety lamp that became known as the Davy lamp. He was also the first to use the newly invented electric battery to isolate nine chemical elements, the largest number attributed to any individual,” said Sharon Ruston, professor in the department of English and creative writing. “The collected letters will provide a significant resource for Romantic-era literary scholars, proving the centrality of Davy to Romantic-period culture. [They] will tell us more about his life, his networks, and the times in which he lived, as well as about the connections and interactions that are possible between literature and science, and the ways in which science is part of culture, affected by politics, history and society.”
