The event that gave rise to the collection was the 15th David Nichol Smith Seminar in Eighteenth-Century Studies, which launched a new Australian and New Zealand Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies. Two strands of interest are explored by the individual authors. The first four essays work with ideas about material objects and identity formation, suggesting how the artist's physical environment contributes to the sense of self, as a practicing artist or artisan, as an individual patron or collector, or as a woman or religious outsider. The last four essays address the intellectual work that can be expressed through or performed by objects. Through a consideration of the material formation of concepts, this book explores questions that are implicated by the need to see ideas in painted, sculpted, illustrated, and designed forms. In doing so, it introduces new visual materials and novel conceptual models into traditional accounts of the intellectual history of the Enlightenment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMaking Ideas Visible\u003c\/i\u003e is an important collection that will appeal to scholars from a variety of disciplines. Those teaching early-modern literature and history will find useful representations of ideas that are often less accessible in printed texts. Many of the book’s images will find a home in my instructional materials, and the authors’ insightful interpretations will inform our class discussions. Milam and Parsons should be congratulated for selecting such keen essays, each of which is handsomely produced and carefully documented.\" -- Christopher D.
