Description

Book Synopsis
There has been path-breaking research, too, in areas which reflect our broadening conception of eighteenth-century studies, from literature of travel to post-colonial writing, translation to the press, popular literature to clandestine manuscripts.

Trade Review

''a lively testament to the healthy state of eighteenth-century studies [...] the volume offers a summa of the current state of those studies, with articles by a team of leading authorities not just covering well-established author, genres, themes and disciplines, but also their less familiar emerging offshoots.'
