In haunting ways, this compelling novel prefigures Suite Française and some of the themes of Némirovsky’s great unfinished sequence of novels. All Our Worldly Goods, though, is complete, and exquisitely so — a perfect novel in its own right.

In the Victorian era, James Watt became an iconic engineer, but in his own time he was also an influential chemist.

Part I of the book - Representations - examines the way James Watt has been portrayed over time, emphasizing sculptural, pictorial and textual representations from the nineteenth century. As an important contributor to the development of arguably the most important technology of i

The problem with Adam Smith is not one of attribution but the re-shaping of his work by the accompanying commentary and notes or the effect of translation and abridgement. This critical bibliography hopes to bring order to this process. A listing of all editions with details of their salient points gives an overview of t
