    For centuries humanity has dreamed of harnessing the power of the sun: Imagining Solar Energy traces the history of these dreams as they have been expressed in literature, art and popular culture from the Renaissance to the present day. From John Milton through the Romantic-period writers such as Shelley and Goethe to the golden age science fiction of Isaac Asimov and contemporary writers such as Ian McEwan, the book shows how the possibilities of solar energy have captured the imagination of writers and artists and in turn shaped developments in science, culture and technology Solar renaissance: Through the burning glass -- Bundling up the sunbeams: Burning into the Enlightenment -- Feeling the Promethean heat: Romantic radiance and the power of invisible light -- A time of 'solidified sunshine': Victorian imaginaries of solar energy -- Bright futures: Solar science fiction takes off -- Dark Mirrors: Solar reflections in the nuclear age -- Self-renewable: The satire and psycho-thermodynamics of solar.

    "How has humanity sought to harness the power of the Sun, and what roles have literature, art and other cultural forms played in imagining, mythologizing and reflecting the possibilities of solar energy? What stories have been told about solar technologies, and how have these narratives shaped developments in science and culture? What can solar power's history tell us about its future, within a world adapting to climate crisis? Identifying the history of capturing solar radiance as a focal point between science and the imagination, Imagining Solar Energy argues that the literary, artistic and mythical resonances of solar power - from the Renaissance to the present day - have not only been inspired by, but have also cultivated and sustained its scientific and technological development. Ranging from Archimedes to Isaac Asimov, John Dee to Humphry Davy, Aphra Behn to J. G. Ballard, the book argues that solar energy translates into many different kinds of power (physical, political, intellectual and cultural), and establishes for the first time the importance of solar energy to many literary and scientific endeavours."--
