Form and Family in the Long Eighteenth Century
Bucknell University Press
The Aesthetics of Kinship interrupts discourses about the emergence of the nuclear family in the eighteenth century.

Planet Work
Rethinking Labor and Leisure in the Anthropocene
Edited by Ryan Hediger
Bucknell University Press
Labor and labor norms orient much of contemporary life, organizing our days and years. Yet, surprisingly, work norms have not been sufficiently interrogated for their profound roles in climate change and other crises gathered under the term “Anthropocene.” Essays in this book expose deep flaws in ideas of work and investigate leisure practices for (sometimes radically) alternative ways of life.

Surrogate Relations in the Eighteenth-Century British Novel
By Ann Campbell
Bucknell University Press
Families of the Heart introduces surrogate families as a new literary device for analyzing a set of novels by Defoe, Richardson, Haywood, and Burney. This radical convention with its feminist and egalitarian potential, Campbell argues, allowed female protagonists to navigate the social world before and beyond marriage across the long eighteenth century.

Designing Women
The Dressing Room in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Culture
By Tita Chico
Bucknell University Press
As a symbol of both progressive and retrograde versions of femininity, Designing Women establishes the dressing room trope in eighteenth-century literature as redefining the gendered constitution of private spaces, and offers a corrective to our literary history of generic influence and development between satire and the novel.

Historicizing the Enlightenment, Volume 2
Literature, the Arts, and the Aesthetic in Britain
Bucknell University Press
