Let Newton Be! (the title comes from a famous couplet by Alexander Pope) explores the many facets of Newtons life  labors  and legacy. Incorporating much new evidence about Newton uncovered in the last two decades  the contributors examine Newtons work in mathematics and optics  his secret experiments with alchemy  his unconventional religious views  the negative reaction to his work (as seen  for instance  in the poetry of William Blake)  and his legacy for modern science.
