Exploratory, investigative, and energetically analytical, 1650-1850 covers the full expanse of long eighteenth-century thought, writing, and art while delivering abundant revelatory detail. Essays on well-known cultural figures combine with studies of emerging topics to unveil a vivid rendering of a dynamic period, simultaneously committed to singular genius and universal improvement. Welcoming research on all nations and language traditions, 1650-1850 invites readers into a truly global Enlightenment. Topics in volume 29 include Samuel Johnson's notions about the education of women and a refreshing account of Sir Joseph Banks's globetrotting. A guest-edited, illustration-rich, interdisciplinary special feature explores the cultural implications of water. As always, 1650-1850 culminates in a bevy of full-length book reviews critiquing the latest scholarship on long-established specialties, unusual subjects, and broad reevaluations of the period.ISSN 1065-3112 Published by Bucknell University Press, distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
