For, while antimodernism offers a provocative aperture through which we can analyze Guiney’s works, I believe that in certain cases—as in “An Open Letter to the Moon”—it is absolutely essential to also examine the gender biases of those antimodern elements. If we read “An Open Letter” plainly, we perceive a quirky, if passionate, ode to mythology and a lament for times gone by. However, when read taking gender…

Thanks to great astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus , Johannes Kepler, Edwin Hubble and many other great minds we have made these ground-breaking discoveries. Not until the latter half of the 20th century did we…
