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 30 ventures to the outer limits of Enlightenment experience. Essays on topics such as comical apocalypticism and England's Asian periphery lead into one special feature unearthing the buried culture of wills and testaments and another special feature soaring into the bird-filled eighteenth-century skies. Capping it all off is a diverse bevy of robust book reviews.
