Charles Robinson
Excerpt from Charles Robinson: The First Free-State Governor of Kansas Biography is, after all, quite essential to a true knowl edge of the history of a people, and, moreover, one of the best of teachers, for by it we come close to the lives of those who make history. It gives an insight and a living touch quite unknown, to the details of plain historical records. The historian who tells the story of national progress, even though he describes causes and results, is forced to treat men as things tossed upon the waves of public Opinion or borne on by the current of events. The biographer deals with an individual life and character from which spring the motives that rule the community or make ...
The Black Cat Book
The black cat is--and you will know At least as much as that--A pleasant, purry, furry beast, In fact he is a--cat. This classic children's book, first published in 1905, combines charming rhymes by Walter Copeland with beautiful illustrations by Charles Robinson. The little black cats of the title are shown at play in many delightful scenes: at the doctor's; going shopping; having a Christmas party; learning to spell; and playing havoc at bath-time.
Frankenstein and STEAM
Charles E. Robinson, Professor Emeritus of English at The University of Delaware, definitively transformed study of the novel Frankenstein with his foundational volume The Frankenstein Notebooks and, in nineteenth century studies more broadly, brought heightened attention to the nuances of writing and editing. Frankenstein and STEAM consolidates the generative legacy of his later work on the novel's broad relation to topics in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). Seven chapters written by leading and emerging scholars pay homage to Robinson's later perspectives of the novel and a concluding postscript contains remembrances by his colleagues and students. This volume not only makes explicit the question of what it means to be human, a question Robinson invited students and colleagues to examine throughout his career, but it also illustrates the depth of the field and diversity of those who have been inspired by Robinson's work. Frankenstein and STEAM offers direction for continuing scholarship on the intersections of literature, science, and technology. Published by the University of Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

A Child's Garden of Verses
First published in 1885, Stevenson's verses so truly reflect the feelings of young children--about being small, the bliss of going up in a swing so high, discovering one's shadow, happiness and sorrow and dreaming--that they have never ceased to be an essential part of a child's library. Robinson's beautiful pictures originally appeared in 1896 in the first illustrated edition.
