"What sets The Wing-And-Wing apart from Cooper's other maritime adventures is the setting: most of the action occurs in the genial Italian waters of the Bay of Naples and Gulf of Salerno, locations Cooper had visited in 1829-30 and later recalled as "the only region of the earth that I truly love." He combined the struggle for naval dominance just beginning between France and England with historical events occurring in the Kingdom of Naples, especially the role reluctantly played by Nelson, pressured by his lover Lady Hamilton, in the execution of the Neapolitan hero Admiral Caraccioli. The editors provide a historical introduction identifying Cooper's Italian sources as well as detailed explanatory notes to enable readers fully to appreciate the geographical and historical settings in the novel. This scholarly edition, the twenty-seventh in the Writings of James Fenimore Cooper, presents an accurate text drawing upon both the first edition and a lightly revised authorial text from 1850. The editors provide a full scholarly apparatus discussing their editorial choices, and the edition has been approved by scholarly peers in the Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association"--

Was ist Steinkohle? Woraus besteht sie und woher kommt sie? Welche Vorteile hat sie und warum? Wozu war sie zu gebrauchen und wozu nicht? Fragen wie diese rückten im 19. Jahrhundert zunehmend in das Blickfeld von Wissenschaftlern und Bergbautreibenden. Anlass waren der steigende wirtschaftliche Wert der Steinkohle, die zunehmende Notwendigkeit einer sicheren Versorgung, aber auch die flächendeckende Nutzung der Steinkohle. Dennoch ist bisher wenig darüber bekannt, wie die Zeitgenossen der Industrialisierung die Materialität dieses Rohstoffs betrachteten. Am Beispiel von drei Kleinrevieren des deutschen Steinkohlenbergbaus blickt dieses Buch hinter die Kulissen der Industrialisierung und macht mit der Steinkohle einen ihrer bedeutendsten Rohstoffe zur Akteurin der Geschichte.
