William Huggins (1824–1910) was celebrated in his lifetime as the father of astrophysics. The letters and observatory notebooks contained in this edition allow Huggins’ important role in the development of astrophysics to fully emerge. Material comes from archives around the world and is previously unpublished.

Barbara J Becker taught history of science at the University of California, Irvine until her retirement in 2008. She has published widely on William Huggins with recent publications including Unravelling Starlight: William and Margaret Huggins and the Rise of the New Astronomy (2011).
