Exploratory and energetically analytical, 1650–1850 ranges over the expanse of long eighteenth-century culture. Welcoming research on all nations and language traditions, this annual escorts its readers into a truly global Enlightenment. Volume 29 includes essays on familiar topics such as Samuel Johnson and women’s education while it also showcases Sir Joseph Banks’s globetrotting and provides a vivaciously interdisciplinary special feature on the cultural implications of water. Capping it all off is a diverse bevy of robust, full-length book reviews.
