1650-1850 - Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era

1650–1850 combines fresh considerations of prominent authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat elements of the Enlightenment legacy. Readers of Volume 26 will explore the response among British women writers to Islam, female religious enthusiasts, theories of monarchy, famous authors living in villages, and a special feature on metaphor in the Enlightenment. Enlivening the volume is a cavalcade of full-length book reviews.
