Description

Read more










1650–1850 combines fresh considerations of prominent authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat elements of the Enlightenment legacy. Packed with essays by prominent as well as upcoming scholars, volume 28 delivers two innovative special features: one venturing around the delightfully futuristic world of adaptation and digitization, with special emphasis on the legacy of Laurence Sterne, and one probing the elusively entertaining, energetically enigmatic legacy of philosopher-poet Bernard Mandeville. Enlivening the volume is a cavalcade of full-length book reviews.
