love and the human search for truth and meaning
through the interconnected lives of several
historical figures across four centuries8212bein
ning with the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who
discovered the laws of planetary motion, and
ending with the marine biologist and author
Rachel Carson, who catalyzed the
environmental movement. Stretching between these
figures is a cast of artists, writers,
and scientists8212motly women, mostly
queer8212whse public contribution
havenbsprisn out of their unclassifiable and
often heartbreaking private relationships to
change the way we understand, experience, and
appreciate the universe. Among them are the
astronomer Maria Mitchell, who paved the way for
women in science the sculptor Harriet Hosmer,
who did the same in art the journalist and
literary critic Margaret Fuller, who sparked the
feminist movement and the poet Emily
Dickinson.Emanating from these lives are larger
questions about the measure of a good life and
what it means to leave a lasting mark of
betterment on an imperfect world Are achievement
and acclaim enough for happiness? Is genius? Is
love? Weaving through the narrative is a set of
peripheral figures8212Raph Waldo
Emerson, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walt Whitman8212an a
tapestry of themes spanning music, feminism, the
history of science, the rise and decline of
religion, and how the intersection of
astronomy, poetry, and Transcendentalist
philosophy fomented the environmental movement.
