Synopsis
Rosalind Williams, author of “The Triumph of Human Empire,” discusses how the writer Robert Louis Stevenson understood engineering as a romantic profession, and how his engineering education led him to defend "romance" over "realism" in literature. Her talk was the 2013¬–14 Trent Dames Lecture at The Huntington.
