The Apple and the Spectroscope (Routledge Revivals): Being Lectures on Poetry Designed (in the Main) for Science Students - Paperback

by T. Henn (Author)

First published in 1951, this book is based on a course of lectures on poetry and prose given at Cambridge University during the long vacations of 1946-1950. A request for lectures of this kind came originally from a group of science students and the response was such that a course of this nature ran yearly. The purpose was to provide students from disciplines other than the humanities with the opportunity to feed their interest in English poetry and literature.
