In the aftermath of the English Civil War, the Restoration overturned England's medieval outlook and a new way of looking at the world allowed the genius of Isaac Newton (b. 1642) and his contemporaries to flourish. This book sets Newton's life and work against this fabulous intellectual rebirth.: among his friends and contemporaries were Samuel Pepys, John Evelyn the eccentric antiquarian, the astronomers Edmund Halley and John Flamsteed, and Christopher Wren. They were all in the forefront of founding the Royal Society and their aims were nothing less than to examine the whole field of scientific knowledge.

Among the best writers this company has published is Ireland's Benedict Kiely. His first book to be released in this country, The State of Ireland, received a front page New York Times Book Review notice in which Guy Davenport wrote, "The first meaning of 'the state of Ireland' is that it's a place where stories are still told, deliciously and by masters of the art, of whom Benedict Kiely is one, perhaps the foremost."This collection was followed by novels, story collections and a separate printing of what William Kennedy called "a small masterpiece," Proxopera , Kiely's moving and memorable anti-war fable (which, especially in these times, bears reading and re-reading).This treasure chest of a book, containing his complete short stories and novellas, spans forty years, and introduces another generation to one of the great prose stylists of our age, a man who possesses "a unique voice," and whose "technique is so good as to be invisible." For this edition we have included some sixteen stories never published before in the USA, a new introduction by the author, as well as his afterword to Proxopera .
