Natural History at Dickinson College

Romantic Natural History: A website designed to survey relationships between literary works and natural history in the century before Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859) is not a course, but it is a nice resource for lifelong learners interested in natural history.

Most of all it is a visual feast and it will only get better, since it is a work in progress, with materials added often.

This is one resource to visit again and again. Ashton Nichols and student researchers are doing a great job at Dickinson College.

Romantic Natural Histories--the book was published in 2003 by Houghton Mifflin Company.
