A classic reissue of Richard Holmes’s brilliant book on Samuel Johnson’s friendship with the poet Richard Savage, which won the James Tait Black Prize for Biography. Dr Johnson & Mr Savage is the story of a mysterious eighteenth-century friendship. Richard Savage was a poet, playwright and convicted murderer who roamed through the brothels and society salons of Augustan England creating a legend of poetic injustice. Strangest of all his achievements was the friendship he inspired in Samuel Johnson, then a young, unknown schoolmaster just arrived in London to seek his literary fortune. This puzzling intimacy helped to form Johnson’s experience of the world and human passions, and led to his masterpiece The Life of Richard Savage, which revolutionized the art of biography and virtually invented the idea of the poet as a romantic, outcast figure. Richard Holmes gradually reconstructs this alliance, throwing suprising new light on the character of Dr Johnson. This extraordinary book also questions the very nature of life-writing and exposes the conflicts between friendship, truth and advocacy which the modern form has inherited.

From the critically acclaimed author of The Age of Wonder, a rich and fascinating exploration of the Victorian world using young Tennyson to illustrate the tensions at the heart of the era. As a young scholar at Cambridge, Tennyson wrote "The Kraken," a sonnet that would later be regarded as one of his first great poems. Inspired by his lonely wanderings along the wild North Sea beaches of Lincolnshire, "The Kraken" deftly weaved between considerations of ancient folklore and unprecedented discoveries in marine science, to become both a haunting elegy to a monstrous creature of the 'Godless deep' and an exploration of the vast, unknown aspects of nature and the human psyche. The early nineteenth century, during which Tennyson rose to eminence, was a period characterized by rapid scientific advancement and technological progress. Groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy, biology, and geology expanded humanity's understanding of the natural world, challenging previously established religious and philosophical viewpoints. This age, called the Victorian era, was underpinned by a growing tension between faith and reason--religion and science--which plunged Western society into a period of great uncertainty. Tennyson emerged as a widely respected poet amidst this turmoil, his imagination and intellect driven by the eruption of three new fundamentally transformative scientific ideas--biological evolution, the notion of a godless, unpitying universe, and of planetary extinction. Compelled by these scientific discoveries, Tennyson grappled with his growing uncertainty and apprehension about the changing world through his work. Brilliant and revelatory, The Boundless Deep is an utterly absorbing exploration of the life and work of a young Tennyson, whose imperishable legacy urges us to reexamine humanity's relationship with faith, reason, the natural world, and our place within it.

*LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE* A dazzling new biography of young Tennyson by the prize-winning, bestselling author of The Age of Wonder.

A physical theory is measured by its ability to provide a complete, compelling, and unifying mathematical description of the observed properties of matter. The Standard Model meets these criteria in good measure. However, the theory leaves open a large variety of issues, with a large number of "input" parameters and a number of philosophical shortcomings. For example, there is no theoretical explanation for why there are three observed generations of particles. There is no explanation for the ordering of the masses of particles within the quark and lepton families. There is no unified explanation for why electrons always exist as distinct particles, whereas quarks are always bound, and neutrinos exhibit mass oscillations. There is no explanation of dark matter within the Standard Model. This work addresses all these issues and more.
