Monstrous Dreams of Reason

Body, Self, and Other in the Enlightenment

Herausgeber: Choudhury, Mita; Rosenthal, Laura J

Beschreibung

This collection of twelve previously unpublished essays explores the conflicts sparked by the extraordinary range of new ideas and material possibilities in the eighteenth-century British Empire, reading the Enlightenment less as a set of axioms than as a variety of cultural and ideological formations.
