Before Einstein Culture While Its Attention to the Neglected Figure of Hinton Marks a Major Advance in Scholarship.’ —Ian F Elizabeth L.Elizabeth Throesch BEFORE ‘This is among the most innovative studies of the relationships between literature and science, yielding wholly fresh understandings of modernist BEFORE EINSTEIN culture while its attention to the neglected figure of Hinton marks a major advance in scholarship.’ E INSTEIN INSTEIN —Ian F. A. Bell, Professor of American Literature, School of Humanities, The Fourth Dimension in Keele University, UK ‘Before Einstein nicely consolidates and extends scholarly discussion on Fin-de-Siècle Literature the spatial fourth dimension as it moves through physics, mathematics, literature and art. The study presents a compelling historical treatment of one of the most fascinating chapters of Anglo-American aesthetics at the and Culture turn of the twentieth century.’ —Bruce Clarke, Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Literature and Science, Texas Tech University, USA ringing together previous scholarship in the field of nineteenth- century literature and science and greatly expanding upon it, B Before Einstein offers the first book-length study of not only the scientific and cultural context of the spatial fourth dimension, but also the literary value of four-dimensional theory. In addition to providing close critical analysis of Charles Howard Hinton’s Scientific Romances, Before Einstein examines the work of H. G. Wells, Henry James and William James through the lens of four-dimensional theory. Truly interdisciplinary in scope, Before Einstein breaks new ground by offering an extensive analysis of four-dimensional theory’s place in the shared history of Modernism. Elizabeth L. Throesch, associate professor at the Community College of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA, received her PhD from the University of Leeds, UK, in 2007. She has published articles and book chapters on Lewis Carroll, Herbert Spencer and Charles Howard Hinton, among others.

I fi rst began researching and writing on the topic of the fourth dimension when I was a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and I am thankful to the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme and the School of English for their assistance in funding my postgraduate work. The archival research undertaken for the book was partly funded by the Brotherton Library Scholarship Fund. Additional support in the form of teaching relief was provided by York St John University. While I was at the University of Leeds, I benefi ted from thoughtful and constructive criticism from a number of scholars. I am thankful for the support of the community of scholars at Leeds, particularly Richard Salmon and Bridget Bennett, as well as then members of the postgraduate community who read and commented on my work at various stages: Catherine Bates, Basil Chiasson, Tara Deshpande, Alberto Fernández Carbajal, Daniel Hannah, Caroline Herbert, Kaley Kramer, Jeff rey Orr, Gillian Roberts, Jennifer Sarha and Abigail Ward. In the early days of my doctoral research, Robin Le Poidevin generously agreed to discuss the philosophy of space and time with me, and my external examiner, Ian F. A. Bell, off ered friendly advice and support during the examination process and beyond. While I was on research and conference trips, Linda Dalrymple Henderson met with me to share scholarship on Hinton and discuss the fourth dimension. Daniela Bertol kindly granted permission for her art to appear on the cover of this book. I am immensely grateful to Nasser Hussain and Bonnie Latimer, who heroically read, and provided detailed critiques of, the fi rst full draft of this book. Any errors or misreadings are, of course, entirely my own. Finally, while this work would not have been possible without the moral support of those mentioned above as well as countless others in Leeds, York, Portsmouth, Arkansas, Austin, Pittsburgh and beyond, I am most grateful to Carrie Kifer, whose humour, love and patience make everything possible. viii 1 INTRODUCTION At the conclusion of Henry James’s 1896 novel The Spoils of Poynton , the protagonist Fleda Vetch struggles to articulate her sense of the ‘vivid presence of the artist’s idea’ she perceives in the maiden- aunt’s house at Ricks: ‘It’s a kind of fourth dimension. It’s a presence, a perfume, a touch. It’s a soul, a story, a life. There’s ever so much more here than you and I!’ 1 Her ability to perceive this presence makes her ‘the one who knew the most’, the central consciousness of this novel whose understanding most closely approaches James’s own. 2 In his preface to the New York edition of The Spoils of Poynton , James explained that Fleda’s ‘ingratiating stroke’ for him was that ‘she would under- stand’. 3 Fleda refers to this understanding as ‘a kind of fourth dimension’, a particular choice of phrase that has not gone unnoticed in literary criticism.4 This is not Einstein’s fourth dimension of space- time; Einstein’s special theory of relativity was fi rst published in 1905, and his general theory came six years later. In fact, Einstein’s ideas did not begin to reach popular audiences until after their confi rmation during the solar eclipse of 1919. To which fourth dimension does Fleda refer then, and how does an understanding of this idea contribute to our understanding of this text and others from the same period? This book provides an answer to these questions by exploring the discourse of hyper- space philosophy and its position within the network of ‘new’ ideas at the end of the nineteenth century, before the rise of Einstein’s popularity in the 1920s. Hyperspace philosophy grew out of the concept of a fourth spatial dimension, an idea that became increasingly debated amongst mathematicians, physicists and philosophers during the 1870s and 1880s in Britain and on the continent, as well as in the United States. English mathematician and hyperspace philosopher Charles Howard Hinton was the chief pop- ularizer of the fourth dimension in Europe and North America and, from 1880 until his death in 1907, he published a number of literary, philosophical and mathematical texts on the subject. The infl uence of these texts, many of which were published as a series under the title of Scientifi c Romances , ranged surprisingly wide. The present study off ers an extended examination of Hinton’s work and – crucially – the infl uence of his ideas on contemporary writers and thinkers.

Functional responses at each developmental stage of predators and intraspecifi c competition associated with direct interactions among them provide insights into developing biological control strategies for pests. The functional responses of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) at each developmental stage of Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) and intraspecifi c competition among predators were evaluated under laboratory conditions. The results showed that all stages of H. axyridis displayed a type II func- tional response to M.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

    THE CUBES OF HINTON Taneli Luotoniemi matharts.aalto.fi WIKIPEDIA SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Howard_Hinton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Boole_Stott HYPERSPACE PHILOSOPHER British mathematician Charles Howard Hinton, played a key part in the popularization of ‘hyperphilosophy’ by publishing many writings during the years 1884–1907, speculating on the physical as well as spiritual aspects of 4–space. He also anticipated the hidden dimensions of string theory by stating that the fourth dimension could perhaps be observed on the smallest details of physical matter. Hinton coined the names ana and kata, which refer to the positive and negative directions along the axis of the fourth spatial dimension. Charles Howard Hinton, (1853–1907) HYPERSPACE PHILOSOPHER Hinton developed a mnemonic system of some tens of thousand cubes with individual names in Latin, serving as a 3-dimensional mental retina of a kind on which to visualize the successive cross-sections of objects in 4-space. Interested in Eastern thought, he also sought to eliminate the ‘self elements’ of his system by memorizing the different orientations and mirror reflections of the cubes. Later he developed the system into a self- help method to visualize the fourth dimension, which consisted of manipulation of coloured cubes. The cubes were available Charles Howard Hinton, (1853–1907) for purchase from his publisher. Frontispiece of The Fourth Dimension (1901) ALICIA BOOLE STOTT Hinton was a frequent guest at the household of Mary Everest Boole, whose husband George was famous of his Boolean algebra.

  • 1 Introduction
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. H. G. Wells, Interview with the Weekly Sun Literary Supplement, 1 December 1895; reprinted in ‘A Chat with the Author of The Time Machine, Mr H. G. Wells’, edited with comment by David C. Smith, The Wellsian, n.s. 20 (1997), 3–9 (p. 8). 2. Wells himself labelled his early scientific fantasies as ‘scientific romances’ when he published a collection with Victor Gollancz entitled The Scientific Romances of H. G. Wells in 1933, thus ensuring the adoption of the term in subsequent critical discussions of his work. The term appears to have origi- nated with the publication of Charles Howard Hinton’s Scientific Romances (1886), a collection of speculative scientific essays and short stories. 3. It should be noted, however, that Wells’s controversial second scientific romance, The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), did not appear in a serialised form. However, The Invisible Man was published in Pearson’s Weekly in June and July 1897, When the Sleeper Wakes was published in The Graphic between January and May 1899, The First Men in the Moon was published in the Strand Magazine between December 1900 and August 1901 and A Modern Utopia was serialised in the Fortnightly Review between October 1904 and April 1905. 4. A number of Wells’s most significant scientific essays have been available for some time in an anthology, H. G. Wells: Early Writings in Science and Science Fiction, ed. by Robert M.

    608 Florida Entomologist 84(4) December 2001 NUMERICAL RESPONSE OF OLLA V-NIGRUM (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) TO INFESTATIONS OF ASIAN CITRUS PSYLLID, (HEMIPTERA: PSYLLIDAE) IN FLORIDA J. P. MICHAUD University of Florida, Citrus Research and Education Center, 700 Experiment Station Road, Lake Alfred, FL 33881 ABSTRACT Data are presented on the relative abundance of the coccinellid Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant) in Florida citrus, before and after invasion by the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Ku- wayama. Adults and larvae of O. v-nigrum were observed preying on immature psyllids throughout their range in Florida. Immature psyllids were eliminated by predation from many flushed citrus terminals that exhibited damage symptoms; pupae of O. v-nigrum and Harmonia axyridis Pallas were recovered from adjacent leaves. Olla v-nigrum, a relatively rare species before the invasion by D. citri, is now a dominant species throughout Florida in citrus groves where the psyllid is present, but remains rare in regions where D. citri is ab- sent. The strong numerical response of this native ladybeetle to D. citri populations indi- cates that it is assuming a key role in biological control of the psyllid. Key Words: abundance, biological control, coccinellids, Diaphorina citri, Harmonia axyridis, Olla v-nigrum RESUMEN Se presentan datos sobre la abundancia relativa del coccinélido Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant) en cítricos en la Florida, antes y después de la invasión del psílido Asiático, Diphorina citri Kuwayama. Adultos y larvas de Olla v-nigrum fueron observados alimentándose de las for- mas inmaduras del psílido a través de la Florida.

  • Introduction to Speculations on the Fourth Dimension: Selected Writings A/Charles H
    Rudy Rucker's introduction to Speculations on the Fourth Dimension: Selected Writings a/Charles H. Hinton, (Dover Publications, New York 1980). Many ofthe book's Hinton selections can be found online at http://www.ibiblio.org/eldritch/chh/hinton.html. INTRODUCTION Introduction Copyright (C) Rudy Rucker 2009. The father James Hinton was an ear surgeon who was best known for The Mystery of Pain, a little book which sets forth the Panglossian thesis that "all that which we feel as painful is really giving-some­ thing that our fellows are better for, even though we cannot trace it." It gives some idea of the tum of the son CQaries Hinton's mind to lea:rn that he wrote a piece, "The Persian King," in which he at­ tempted to use higher dimensions and infinite series to obtain a mathematically accurate model of this idea. Charles Howard Hinton was a professional mathematician-he took the master's degree at Oxford, taught at Princeton, and published pure mathematics related to work of Morley, Hamilton, and Cayley-but for him formal mathematics was never an end in itself. Hinton's touchstone was, rather, dir«t and intuitive knowledge of four-dimensional space. The bulk of his writings are aimed at develop­ ing in the reader the power to think about 4-D space; and the rest of his work focuses on using a knowledge of higher space to solve various problems in physics and in metaphysics. Hinton was born in London in 1853, the first son in his family. He was schooled at Rugby, and matriculated at Oxford in 1871.
