Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 24 ISBN 9780801851360

Description

Representing the diversity of interests within the eighteenth-century studies community, the latest volume in this distinguished series includes eighteen essays that range chronologically from the mid-seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century and geographically from the Italian peninsula to the American colonies on the eve of the revolution. A distinguished group of contributors addresses subjects such as alienation and exile, the rise of the novel as a genre, challenges to Enlightenment rationalism, gender and the Other, and the rise of the New Science.

Volume

v. 25 ISBN 9780801854620

Description

The riches of this miscellany speak for themselves: a dozen disciplines dance in pairs or singly to offer new insights into the texts and contexts of 18th-century culture in America, Britain and the European continent. Together they shed light on some of the ideas that captured our society's collective imagination in 1995-96; in the order that they occur, pastoralism, letters in/and paintings, Augustanism, the aesthetic, hysteria, female alienation, German Enlightenment, libertinism, corporeal limitations, the limits of expression, knowledge, charity, the moral, wisdom, Gothicism. Since SECC readers selected these 16 essays from nearly 100 submissions to the annual last year, it is fair to say that they also represent some of the best conference papers heard at the regional and national meetings during that time.

Volume

v. 26 ISBN 9780801856273

Description

This collection of 16 essays offers an insight into the texts and contexts of 18th-century culture in America, Britain and Europe. Topics covered include: pastoralism; Augustanism; the aesthetic; hysteria; female alienation; German Enlightenment; knowledge; charity; and Gothicism.

Volume

v. 27 ISBN 9780801859694

Description

This volume presents a group of essays that evoke broad contexts and future avenues for work in the field of 18th-century studies. The contributors take up the question of "identity", not as a fixed, stable property whose boundaries may be confidently mapped, but rather as a complex and unpredictable process navigating different discourses and modes of social insertion. They address issues that involve national, linguistic and cultural affiliations or call into question the relation of gender performance to literary persona. The contents include Diane Fourny's essay on "ethics and otherness" in Diderot; Richard Morton's study of the politics of translation in Dryden; two very different studies of authorial self-presentation by James Dillon and Gregory Brown; Beate Allert's analysis of visual language; a pair of essays on landscape aesthetics, politics and literature by Julie Rak and Richard Quaintance; and a trio of essays that deal with the elusive object of interdisciplinary desire at the intersection of literature, mathematics and science by Rebecca Connor, Thoedore E.D. Braun and Alan T. McKenzie, and Ann T. McKenzie.

Volume

v. 28 ISBN 9780801862472

Description

This volume ranges over countries and themes from Italian architecture as a reflection of culture, to British exposes of prostitution and German guild culture as reflected in a surviving cabinet from that time. Essays discuss print culture in Britain, women writing in America, female servants, celebratory verse and patriotism, property and law, and other topics. The volume touches on the works of, among others, Voltaire, Walpole, Burke and Rousseau.

Volume

v. 29 ISBN 9780801864490

Description

This volume of "Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture" offers a cluster of essays on literature and medicine, "Allegories of Healing", that consider at length the different ways the physician-patient relationship was configured in France and Great Britain. Other essays discuss the unspoken politics of ocular observation, family relations and family values in Defoe and Frances Burney, ideals of polite marriage in France, portraiture as a record of the career of actress Sarah Siddons, period contexts for the works of dramatist Joanna Baillie and novelist Maria Edgeworth, and the phenomenology of rereading Richardson. The volume concludes with a reconsideration by Robert Wokler and Bruce Mazlish of Ernst Cassirer's study, "The Philosophy of the Enlightenment".

Description

Always interdisciplinary, the field of eighteenth-century studies has recently become genuinely international. To reflect this global emphasis, this volume of Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture gathers four essays under the rubric of "The Geography of Enlightenment." Set in a variety of local habitations from the European periphery to the American frontier, each of these essays addresses how a relative sense of place determines interpretation. Other essays explore such topics as the aesthetics of novelty in Addison and Sterne, the influence of the religious lyric on Richardson's Clarissa, feminine authority in Eliza Haywood's spectatorial fiction, and the issue of male effeminacy in English dance history.

Description

Throughout the eighteenth century, shifts in political power and social structures were making their way across Europe and into the New World. In this volume of Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture, editors Ourida Mostefai and Catherine Ingrassia have brought together four clusters of related essays that explore the complexities of national and international identity in light of these changes, integrating such diverse fields of scholarship as women's studies, literary theory, and art history.

Description

This volume of Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture explores the revolutions in culture, politics, and art that took place throughout the eighteenth century. The first section of the book focuses on the role that women played in both the formation and the expression of culture, whether as manufacturers or consumers. The second group of essays studies images of the body in popular drama, literature, and art, while the third is devoted to politics and religion, dealing specifically with the questions of ethnicity and loyalty brought up by rebellion and revolution. The book concludes with two essays about landscape art and its implications for legitimizing slavery and constructing the colonial fantasy.

Description

Drawing on unusual archival materials, addressing a variety of nonliterary or extratextual sources, employing new theoretical approaches, and offering innovative discussions of established works, the essays gathered in the latest volume of Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture reflect the most exciting new directions of research within the field. The novel is a dominant focus, and the contributors to this volume offer new perspectives on the genre itself or bold new readings of such canonical texts as Les Liaisons dangereuses, Cecilia, Histoire de M. Cleveland, and the early fiction of Daniel Defoe, as well as Casanova's novelistic autobiography, Histoire de ma vie. Some essays use unusual or little-known sources or materials:-the early English novel, The Jamaica Lady; an anonymous British seaman's journal; and "infant's petitions," the letters that accompanied babies left at foundling hospitals. Other essays examine the complicated constructions of identity and authorship that emerge in various disciplines and genres: depictions of statuary in eighteenth-century French painting and literature; representations of the French literary marketplace; the role of singing in the poetry of Stephen Duck; the presence of ancient Stoic and Baconian principles in Samuel Johnson's moral writing; and the complicated correspondence between Horace Walpole and William Cole. The volume concludes with a special section of essays meditating on the complex eighteenth-century discourse on beauty and aesthetics. Contributors: Jeffrey Barnouw, Barbara Benedict, Melissa Downes, Ted Emery, Timothy Erwin, Susan Greenfield, George Haggerty, Adam Komisaruk, Laurence Mall, James Mullholland, Alexander Pitosfsky, David Porter, Neil Saccamano, Laura Schattschneider, April Shelford, Peter Sonderen, Geoffrey Turnovsky, Caroline Weber

Undertaking critical investigation of eighteenth-century ideas and practices, it discusses the possibilities and limitations of print; royal portraiture, the sentimental novel, and botanical classification through the categories of gender; the European experience in the 1700s; and change over time in the realms of music, architecture, and literature from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth.

Description

The essays in this volume share a common concern with investigating Enlightenment categories of historical understanding and determining how these categories helped shape Enlightenment culture.

Volume

v. 47 ISBN 9781421424415

Description

Addressing the diverse ways in which eighteenth-century contemporaries of different nations and cultures created visual, verbal, and material representations in various media. Focused on conventions of technology, labor, and tolerance on the one hand, and on artistic intentionality on the other hand, these essays also address the implications of this past in our own research today. The first section, "Representing Humans and Technology," opens with the late Srinivas Aravamudan's presidential address, "From Enlightenment to Anthropocene." This is followed by a panel of essays on labor and industry, which includes Valentina Tikoff on the overlap between welfare and the technical training of Spanish orphans for warfare; Susan Egenolf on mythological representations of industry; Susan Libby on the Encyclopedie's mechanical representations of sugar production on the plantations; and Jon Klancher on technological manuals. The second section, "Inside the Artist's Studio," opens with Shearer West's ASECS/BSECS lecture on "selfiehood" and eighteenth-century celebrity. This is followed by papers on self-promoting self-representations-by painters in Wendy Wassyng Roworth's essay on Angelica Kauffman's studio in Rome and Francesca Bove's essay on George Morland's studio; and by a self-promoting French society lady in Heather McPherson's essay on Madame Recamier's portraits. This section concludes with Leith Davis's essay on representations in the contemporary press of Ireland and the Glorious Revolution. The final section addresses emerging issues in two forums. The first reconsiders issues of intentionality: participants include Stephanie Insley Hershinow, Sarah Ellenzweig, Edmund J. Goehring, Thomas Salem Manganaro, and Kathleen Lubey. The second section reconsiders issues of tolerance-and the association of Enlightenment tolerance with Voltaire during the recent Charlie Hebdo rallies in Paris. Participants include Jeffrey M. Leichman, Reginald McGinnis, Jack Iverson, Faycal Falaky, Ourida Mostefai, and Elena Russo.
