1650-1850
Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era (Volume 29)

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.
