The Human Mind
by Angela Woodward

Description

These stories brim with ideas, with firm outward gazes upon the story’s world and a bracing intellect involved beyond the self. Historical figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, William James and Robert Hooke people them, but so do a man made of smoke, an orphaned woman who sews hats and handbags, and the alchemist Dr. Crafft, who bottles starlight.
