Lady Byron was herself a woman of high intellect with a passion for mathematics – Lord Byron called her the “Princess of Parallelograms” – and she strongly encouraged Ada in her studies.Īda’s seminal work in computing was honored by the United States Department of Defense through its choice of the name “Ada” in 1979 for its common high-order computer programming language. Her choice to study and specialize in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines was highly exceptional for a woman in 19th century England, but she had an excellent role model in her mother, Anne Isabella (Milbanke) Byron. She is commonly regarded as the world’s first programmer based on her work with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine. Who was Ada Lovelace, and how are her life and contributions significant today? Lady Ada, the daughter of British poet Lord Byron, was a 19th century woman of many talents but with a particular leaning towards mathematics. The editor provides explanatory annotation throughout the volume.This Norton Critical Edition also reprints Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist, Brown’s fragmentary sequel to Wieland. Testing the limits of religious and literary authority in the new United States, Brown’s novel has for more than two centuries kept readers debating questions of agency, accountability, and revolutionary politics as the story’s moral chaos unfolds. Violence erupts when the family’s young patriarch believes he hears God’s voice demanding a human sacrifice as a sign of faith. A family living on an estate outside Philadelphia is visited first by a set of mysterious voices, seemingly coming out of thin air, followed soon after by an itinerant rustic named Carwin. Wieland, the story of religious delusions and horrific violence on the eve of the American Revolution, is the first gothic novel in America and a cornerstone of the Early American literary canon.

We used to fight each other for the chance to lean close and tug them loose. Mother Roberta had three stiff hairs on her chin that we could spot only when she sat underneath the kitchen light. “There is no time for nothing,” she used to tell us, when she caught us staring out the window, or flipping through stations on the rectory radio. She taught us to be busy: write our representatives, make bread of brown bananas. She left it on the table until dinner, then wrecked it and started again.Įverything we knew about living, we knew because Mother Roberta had showed us. But while we weren’t looking, she put all thousand pieces where they were meant to be, and one afternoon the puzzle was finished. She began to spend her days behind a newspaper held wide, or at the kitchen table with a cup of Red Rose tea, staring at a spread of puzzle pieces that she never seemed to touch. Mother Roberta acquiesced-she would try to relax. Twice in one month, we’d had to rummage through bags of trash in search of her false teeth. She was eighty-one, frail as filament, and had started having bad days. When Father Thaddeus came to Lackawanna, he suggested she might take a break. She embroidered pillows, made punch from powder, wrote the homilies for the priest. Twice a year she sewed our made-to-measure habits from yards of a black poly-wool blend. Every morning she brewed the coffee and every night she cooked the meal. Mother Roberta made the rules: no chewing gum, no bicycles, no tree nuts, no pets.
