1650-1850 : Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era (Volume 29) Hardback

Edited by Kevin L. Cope, Samara Anne Cahill

Part of the 1650-1850 series

Hardback

Description

Exploratory, investigative, and energetically analytical, 1650–1850 covers the full expanse of long eighteenth-century thought, writing, and art while delivering abundant revelatory detail.

Essays on well-known cultural figures combine with studies of emerging topics to unveil a vivid rendering of a dynamic period, simultaneously committed to singular genius and universal improvement.

Welcoming research on all nations and language traditions, 1650–1850 invites readers into a truly global Enlightenment.

Topics in volume 29 include Samuel Johnson’s notions about the education of women and a refreshing account of Sir Joseph Banks’s globetrotting.

A guest-edited, illustration-rich, interdisciplinary special feature explores the cultural implications of water.

As always, 1650–1850 culminates in a bevy of full-length book reviews critiquing the latest scholarship on long-established specialties, unusual subjects, and broad reevaluations of the period. Published by Bucknell University Press, distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
