Hemispheres and Stratospheres : The Idea and Experience of Distance in the International Enlightenment Paperback / softback
Edited by Kevin L. Cope
Part of the Transits: Literature, Thought & Culture, 1650-1850 series
Paperback / softback
Description
Recognizing distance as a central concern of the Enlightenment, this volume offers eight essays on distance in art and literature; on cultural transmission and exchange over distance; and on distance as a topic in science, a theme in literature, and a central issue in modern research methods.
Through studies of landscape gardens, architecture, imaginary voyages, transcontinental philosophical exchange, and cosmological poetry, Hemispheres and Stratospheres unfurls the early history of a distance culture that influences our own era of global information exchange, long-haul flights, colossal skyscrapers, and space tourism.
