1650-1850Samara Anne CahillLabel: Bucknell University PressU.S.Description: Rigorously inventive and revelatory in its adventurousness 1650–1850 opens a forum for the discussion investigation and analysis of the full range of long-eighteenth-century writing thinking and artistry. Combining fresh considerations of prominent authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat elements of the Enlightenment legacy 1650–1850 delivers a comprehensive but richly detailed rendering of the first days the first principles and the first efforts of modern culture. Its pages open to the works of all nations and language traditions providing a truly global picture of a period that routinely shattered boundaries. Volume 28 of this long-running journal is no exception to this tradition of focused inclusivity. Readers will experience two blockbuster multi-author special features that explore both the deep traditions and the new frontiers of early modern studies: one that views adaptation and digitization through the lens of Sterneana the vast literary and cultural legacy following on the writings of Laurence Sterne a legacy that sweeps from Hungarian renditions of the puckish novelist through the Bloomsbury circle and on into cybernetics and one that pays tribute to legendary scholar Irwin Primer by probing the always popular but also always challenging writings of that enigmatic poet-philosopher Bernard Mandeville. All that plus the usual cavalcade of full-length book reviews. ISSN: 1065-3112 Published by Bucknell University Press distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
