Anatomical Dissection in Enlightenment England and Beyond Autopsy, Pathology and Display Edited by Piers Mitchell, University of Cambridge, UK The History of Medicine in Context

Excavations of medical school and workhouse cemeteries undertaken in Britain in the last decade have unearthed fascinating new evidence for the way that bodies were dissected or autopsied in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This book brings together the latest discoveries by these biological anthropologists, alongside experts in the early history of pathology museums in British medical schools and the various royal colleges of surgeons, and medical historians studying the social context of dissection and autopsy in the Georgian and Victorian periods.

Bad Vibrations The History of the Idea of Music as a Cause of Disease James Kennaway, Durham University, UK The History of Medicine in Context

Music has been used as a cure for disease, but the notion that it might be a serious cause of mental and physical illness was rare until the late eighteenth century. More recently, the prevalence of sonic weapons and the use of music in torture in the so-called War on Terror have both made the subject of music that is bad for the health worryingly topical. This book outlines and explains the development of this idea of pathological music from the Enlightenment until the present day, providing an original contribution to the history of medicine, music and the body.

The History of Medicine in Context

Ailing seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French men and women, members of their families, or their local physician or surgeon, could write to high profile physicians and surgeons seeking expert medical advice. This study, the first full-length examination of the practice of consulting by letter, provides a cohesive portrayal of some of the widespread ailments of French society in the latter part of the early modern period. It makes a unique contribution to the history of medicine, as no other study has been undertaken in the consulting by letter of surgeons, as opposed to physicians. Contents: Introduction. Part I: Contexts: Textual, Professional and Social: Correspondence: practices and context; The dynamic medical marketplace; Relationships between medical correspondents; Knowledge, status and power: negotiating authority. Part II: Body, Health and Illness: University medical knowledge in epistolary practice; Patients’ perceptions of the body, health and illness; The deployment of therapies; From complaint to cure; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

‘Regimental Practice’ by John Buchanan, M.D. An Eighteenth-Century Medical Diary and Manual Edited by Paul Kopperman, Oregon State University The History of Medicine in Context

In 1746, Dr. John Buchanan, a recently retired medical officer in the British Army, produced a manuscript, “Regimental Practice, or a Short History of Diseases common to His Majesties own Royal Regiment of Horse Guards when abroad (Commonly called the Blews).” Revised almost until the time of Buchanan’s death in 1767, it was primarily based on the author’s observations while surgeon to a cavalry regiment serving in Flanders 1742–45 during the War of the Austrian Succession. It is of immense value to the understanding of eighteenthcentury interpretation and treatment of diseases, but as yet has never been published. This is an annotated modern edition of the work, set in the context of Buchanan’s life and career.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories Edited by Philippa Levine, University of Texas, Austin and John Marriott, University of East London, UK “The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories is a fluidly written, comprehensive and authoritative approach to the current state of the knowledge and conceptions of empire that will be an essential tool for students and researchers alike.” —Michael Charney, SOAS, University of London, UK Taking a broad, comparative approach to imperial experiences, this volume provides an authoritative survey of the latest research into the histories of modern empires. The focus is on the era of modern imperial history dating approximately from the early sixteenth century to the present. Such a periodization enables the volume to include the European experience of imperial expansion and settlement, important historical experiences outside the west such as those of Russia, Japan and China, the collapse of European empires attendant on decolonization in the post-World War II period, and the contemporary example of North America.

Aspects of Book Culture in Early Modern England 2

T.A. Birrell and edited by Jos Blom, both at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1025

Thomas Anthony Birrell (1924–2011) was a man of many parts but first and foremost he was a bibliographer and a book historian. The present collection contains fifteen of his book-historical articles, two reviews and one published version of a lecture for the illustrious “Association Internationale de Bibliophilie.” The lecture—with a wealth of illustrations—about the British Library as the “Custodian of the Unique” gives one a sense of Birrell’s ability to present an audience with a complicated topic in comprehensible, but not simplified, terms.

Beyond Foucault

Forthcoming Calvin Meets Voltaire The Clergy of Geneva during the Age of Enlightenment, 1685–1798 Jennifer Powell McNutt, Wheaton College Eighteenth-century Geneva offers a fascinating opportunity to witness the encounter between the Reformation and the Enlightenment in the figurative meeting of Calvin and Voltaire.

New Perspectives on Bentham’s Panopticon Edited by Anne Brunon-Ernst, University of Paris 2 and Centre Bentham, France Classified as “Research Essential” by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services

This book combines an appreciation of Bentham’s broader project with an engagement of Foucault’s insights on economic government to go beyond the received reading of panopticism as a dark disciplinary technology of power. It is essential reading for historians of intellectual history but also of interest to students of contemporary surveillance and society.

Focusing on the “long eighteenth century” this collection of essays charts the transition of British legal proceedings from early scenes of noise and disorder, to a much more rigid and solemn atmosphere by the start of the nineteenth century. Through an investigation as to the extent to which legal proceedings may be understood as theater and counter-theater; the impact of lawyers’ intervention in the courtroom; and the role and impact of print media in relation to trials, the volume opens up fascinating vistas upon the cultural dimensions of Britain’s law courts.

Land, Proto-Industry and Population in Catalonia, c. 1680–1829

Modern Economic and Social History

Manuel Pérez-García, European University Institute

An Alternative Transition to Capitalism?

This monograph makes a fresh contribution to a longstanding but far from exhausted debate concerning the transition to capitalism in Europe. The work investigates key aspects of this transformation: the changes on the land, the origins of the industrial revolution, the modern rise of population and the growth of markets. It does so from a new perspective, however, by focusing on an area of southern Europe, Catalonia. Catalonia’s interest as an area for study lies in its precocity within a southern European context, as one of the few regions on the European periphery to industrialize in comparable ways and at the same time as areas of northern Europe.

English Catholics and the Supernatural, 1553–1829 Francis Young Catholic Christendom, 1300–1700

In spite of an upsurge in interest in the social history of the Catholic community and an ever-growing body of literature on early modern “superstition” and popular religion, the English Catholic community’s response to the invisible world of the preternatural and supernatural has remained largely neglected. Addressing this oversight, this book explores Catholic responses to the supernatural world, setting the English Catholic community in the contexts of the wider Counter-Reformation and the confessional culture of early modern England. Contents: Preface; Introduction; Early modern Catholics and ‘superstition;’ Catholicism, Enlightenment, and ‘superstition;’ Ghosts and apparitions in the English Catholic community; Catholics, witchcraft, and magic in Reformation England; Catholics and witchcraft in the age of Enlightenment; Dealing with the Devil: Catholic exorcisms; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.

Modern Economic and Social History

The birth of a mass consumer society in Western Europe has been a subject of much scholarly debate in recent years. In order to further understanding of the issue, this book adopts an analytical approach, paying special attention to the socio-cultural and economic transfers which occur when different commodities are introduced to territories with diverse values and identities. In particular, it examines the role of merchants and their important influence on consumer decisions, alongside a systematic analysis of probate inventories from southern Spain, to reveal shifts in the patterns of consumption of new goods in urban and rural families, underlining a growing interest in new, exotic and foreign goods. Contents: Preface; Introduction. Part I: The History of Consumption: Debates, Theories, Methods, Sources and Data Bases: Studies on consumption and material culture to date; Sources and methodology. Part II: Consumption and Stereotypes in 18th-Century Mediterranean Europe: the Case of South-Eastern Spain: Sociopolitical rules and fashions: the intervention of the state; The development of global models: transforming dress as a means to control consumption. Part III: French Traders and Western Mediterranean Commerce in a Global Context (1730–1808): The Roux Frères Company, French trade networks and the Spanish Mediterranean import-export market; The circulation of trans-national goods from Marseille to Spain. Part IV: Examining the ‘Consumer’ and ‘Industrious’ Revolution in South-Eastern Spain: the Kingdom of Murcia (1730–1808): Consumer behavior in South-Eastern Spain: channels of diffusion, household economy and fashions; The trans-cultural circulation of new fashions in urban and rural spaces. Part V: General Conclusions: Appendices; Glossary; Bibliography; Index.

European Perceptions of Terra Australis Edited by Anne M. Scott, University of Western Australia, Alfred Hiatt, Queen Mary, University of London and Claire McIlroy and Christopher Wortham, both at University of Western Australia

4

Terra Australis, the southern land, was one of the most widespread concepts in European geography from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, although the notion of a land mass in the Southern seas had been prevalent since classical Antiquity. Through interdisciplinary contributions, ranging across history, the visual arts, literature and popular culture, this volume considers the continuities and discontinuities between the imagined space of Terra Australis and its subsequent manifestation. It will be of interest to, among others, intellectual and cultural historians, literary scholars, historians of cartography, the visual arts, women’s and post-colonial studies.

Forthcoming The Farmer in England, 1650–1980 Edited by Richard W. Hoyle, University of Reading, UK Rural Worlds: Economic, Social and Cultural Histories of Agricultures and Rural Societies

Farmers made agriculture happen. While a great deal has been written about landowners and quite a lot about laborers, little has been written about the third part of the trinity, the farmer. They have been noticeable absentees from most recent studies of rural history and they rarely appear in the literature as individuals before the eighteenth century. Our ignorance of the farmer might be justified by the claim that they are ill-documented. In fact farmers were normally literate and kept records—day books, journals, accounts. As the essays in this volume show, farm records offer invaluable insights into the farming economy which are available nowhere else and will help to restore farmers to their rightful position in history as rural entrepreneurs. Contents: Introduction: recovering the farmer, R.W. Hoyle; A new view of the fells: Sarah Fell of Swarthmoor and her cashbook, Jenifer S. Holt; Why was there no crisis in England in the 1690s?, R.W. Hoyle; The farming and domestic economy of a Lancashire smallholder: Richard Latham and the agricultural revolution, 1724–67, A.J. Gritt; The seasonality of English agricultural employment: evidence from farm accounts, 1740–1850, Joyce Burnette; Farmers and improvement, 1780– 1840, John Broad; Farmers of the Holkham estate, Susanna Wade Martins; The landowner as scientific farmer: James Mason and the Eynsham Hall estate, 1866–1903, Peter Dewey; The ‘lady farmer:’ gender, widowhood and farming in Victorian England, Nicola Verdon; ‘Murmurs of discontent:’ the upland response to the plough campaign, 1916–18, Hilary Crowe; Rex Paterson (1903–1978): pioneer of grassland dairy farming and agricultural pioneer, John Martin; Compost in Caledonia: the work of Robert L. Stuart, organic pioneer, Philip Conford; Index.

From Oikonomia to Political Economy Constructing Economic Knowledge from the Renaissance to the Scientific Revolution Germano Maifreda, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Renaissance Europe witnessed a surge of interest in science, with new ideas and theories being applied to all aspects of life. While the study of this Scientific Revolution has dramatically shifted our appreciation of many facets of the early-modern world, remarkably little attention has been paid to its influence upon one key area; that of economics. Through an interrogation of the relationship between economic and scientific developments in sixteenth, and seventeenth century Western Europe, this book demonstrates how a new economic epistemology appeared that was to have profound consequences both at the time, and for subsequent generations. Contents: Introduction; Exchange of value: value of exchange; Genealogies of value; Talking, looking, portraying the marketplace; Demanding and offering; Work, the yardstick of value; The economic system; A systemic view of nature; Epilogue; Bibliography; Index.

He traveled extensively throughout Europe, appearing and performing at royal courts and salons, before settling in Durham in his later life until his death at the age of 97. His memoirs, published in a bilingual (French and English) version in 1788, show him to have been an intelligent observer of the world he inhabited and explored. The life story of this miniature gentleman is not only interesting in its own right, but also offers a new perspective on the culture of the Enlightenment.

The Ottoman World, the Mediterranean and North Africa, 1660–1760 Colin Heywood, University of Hull, UK Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1026

Dr. Heywood’s second volume of collected papers in the Variorum series brings together fourteen studies published between 2000 and 2010. They represent two of the main strands of his interests during the past decade: the era of Ottoman history dominated by the ministerial family of Köprülü; and the maritime history of the “post-Braudelian” Mediterranean in the later 17th and early 18th centuries, with a particular focus on the English maritime and commercial presence in Algiers.

Landscape and Identity in North America’s Southern Colonies from 1660 to 1745 Catherine Armstrong, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Through an analysis of textual representations of the American landscape, this book looks at how North America appeared in books printed on both sides of the Atlantic between the years 1660 and 1745. A variety of literary genres are examined to discover how authors described the landscape, climate, flora and fauna of America, particularly of the new southern colonies of Carolina and Georgia.

The Rise and Fall of Modern Empires

This volume reproduces key historical texts concerning “colonial knowledges.” The use of the adjective “colonial” indicates that knowledge is shaped by power relationships, while the use of the plural form, “knowledges,” indicates the emphasis in this collection is on an interplay between different, often competing, cognitive systems. George Balandier’s notion of the colonial situation is an organizing principle that runs throughout the volume, and there are four subthemes. An introductory essay links the themes together and explains the significance of the individual articles. Contents: Introduction.

The Rise and Fall of Modern Empires

Edited by Melissa Calaresu, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, UK and Helen Hills, University of York, UK

The collection of essays in this volume offers an overview of scholarly approaches to the ways in which diverse actors, representing the colonized or the colonizing nations, or indeed the international community, reacted to colonialism during the lifetime of the modern colonial empires or in their aftermath. The coverage is broad in terms of geographical scope and historical period and reflects recent academic trends by focusing on countries whose colonial past and experience of decolonization have been studied and debated with particular intensity, such as Algeria, Kenya and India.

Early modern Naples has been characterized as a marginal, wild and exotic place on the fringes of the European world, and the target of frequent Catholic missionary attempts to “civilize” the city. In recent historiography its reputation has suffered in relation to that of Venice, Florence and Rome, being often regarded as a city bypassed by the Renaissance and an emblem of cultural and political decline in the Italian peninsula. Yet, as this volume makes plain, such views limit our understanding, not only of a key Mediterranean city, but also of the wider social, cultural and political aspects of early modern Europe.

Forthcoming Matter and Method in the Long Chemical Revolution Laws of Another Order Victor D. Boantza, University of Minnesota Science, Technology and Culture, 1700–1945

Matter and Method in the Long Chemical Revolution examines the role of and effects on chemistry of both the seventeenth-century scientific revolution and the eighteenth-century chemical revolution in parallel, using chemistry during the chemical revolution to illuminate chemistry during the scientific revolution, and vice versa. Focusing on the crises and conflicts of early modern chemistry (and their retrospectively labeled “losing” parties), the author traces patterns of continuity in matter theory and experimental method from Boyle to Lavoisier, and reevaluates the disciplinary relationships between chemists, mechanists, and Newtonians in France, England and Scotland. Contents: Preface; Introduction. Part I: Chymistry in the Scientific Revolution: Duclos reads Boyle; Fire, alkahest, and elements; From cohesion to gravity; Interlude: the crisis of inter-revolutionary chemistry.

Roscoe and Italy The Reception of Italian Renaissance History and Culture in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centurie Edited by Stella Fletcher In 1795 William Roscoe (1753–1831) published a biography of Lorenzo de’ Medici, which proved so popular that it prompted claims that Roscoe had effectively invented the Italian Renaissance as it has been known by subsequent generations of readers in the English-speaking world. Despite such enthusiastic assertions, however, this collection of essays is the first systematic attempt to examine Roscoe and his contribution towards modern conceptions of the Renaissance. Contents: Introduction, Stella Fletcher. Part I: Roscoe and the Revival of the Arts: Between history and art history: Roscoe’s Medici Lives, Emanuele Pellegrini; Roscoe’s Lorenzo: ‘restorer of Italian literature,’ Corinna Salvadori Lonergan; Roscoe’s Italian paintings in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Xanthe Brooke.

Forthcoming Sweden in the EighteenthCentury World Provincial Cosmopolitans Edited by Göran Rydén, Uppsala University, Sweden Eighteenth-century Sweden was deeply involved in the process of globalization: ships leaving Sweden’s central ports exported bar iron that would drive the Industrial Revolution, while arriving ships would bring not only exotic goods and commodities to Swedish consumers, but also new ideas and cultural practices with them. At the same time, Sweden was an agricultural country to a large extent governed by self-subsistence, and—for most—wealth was created within this structure. This volume brings together a group of scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who seek to present a more nuanced and elaborated picture of the Swedish cosmopolitan eighteenth century. Together they paint a picture of Sweden that is more like the one eighteenth-century intellectuals imagined, and help to situate Sweden in histories of cosmopolitanism of the wider world. Contents: Provincial cosmopolitanism— an introduction, Föran Rydén; Where in the world was Sweden? A brief guide for foreigners, Chris Evans; Language: The language of cosmos. The cosmopolitan endeavor of universal languages, David Dunér; Cultivation; Swedish agriculture in the cosmopolitan 18th century, Mats Morell; Taste: Travelling and the formation of taste.

The Single Homemaker and Material Culture in the Long Eighteenth Century David Hussey and Margaret Ponsonby, both at University of Wolverhampton, UK The History of Retailing and Consumption

The Single Homemaker and Material Culture in the Long Eighteenth Century represents a new synthesis of gender history and material culture studies. It seeks to analyze the lives and cultural expression of single men and women from 1650 to 1850 within the main focus of domestic activity, the home. While there is much scholarly interest in singleness and a raft of literature on the construction and apprehension of the home, no other book has sought to bring these discrete studies together.

The Thinking Space The Cafe as a Cultural Institution in Paris, Italy and Vienna Edited by Leona Rittner, W. Scott Haine and Jeffrey H. Jackson The café as an institutional site has been the subject of renewed interest among scholars in the past decade, and its role in the development of art, ideas and culture has been explored in some detail. However, few have investigated the ways in which cafes create a cultural and intellectual space which brings together multiple influences and intellectual practices and shapes the urban settings of which they are a part. This volume brings together an international group of scholars who consider cafes as sites of intellectual discourse from across Europe during the long modern period.

Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies

Edited by Paul Youngquist, University of Colorado

Series Editors: Kevin Hutchings, University of Northern British Columbia and Julia M. Wright, Dalhousie University Focusing on the long nineteenth century (ca. 1750–1900), this series offers a forum for the publication of scholarly work investigating the literary, historical, artistic and philosophical foundations of transatlantic culture. A vital field of interdisciplinary investigation, transatlantic scholarship contextualizes its objects of study in relation to exchanges, interactions and negotiations that occurred between and among authors and other artists hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. By examining representations dealing with such topics as travel and exploration, migration and diaspora, slavery, aboriginal culture, revolution, colonialism and anticolonial resistance, the series offers new insights into the hybrid or intercultural basis of transatlantic identity, politics and aesthetics.

The Materials of Exchange between Britain and North East America, 1750–1900 Edited by Daniel Maudlin and Robin Peel, University of Plymouth, UK Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies

“The Materials of Exchange between Britain and North East America, 1750–1900, significantly expands our understanding of transatlantic cultural exchange between the U.S. and Britain, both by challenging the U.S.-centeredness of North American Studies and by extending its consideration of crosscultural transatlantic influence well into the nineteenth century…”

—Phillip H. Round, University of Iowa Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the complex cultural exchanges that took place between Britain and America from 1750 to 1900, this collection examines material and visual cultures alongside literary studies. Intended for researchers in literature and in visual and material cultures, this collection challenges single-subject boundaries by redefining transatlantic studies as the collective examination of the complex and interrelated cultural transactions that crisscrossed the Atlantic through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Contents: Introduction, Daniel Maudlin; Transatlanticism, past, present and future: a brief overview, Paul Giles; Part I: Books and Ideas; Bloodlines and abortions: heredity and childhood in Hawthorne, Maeve Pearson; Transatlantic mobility: European pleasure meets American ambivalence in Henry James’ The Europeans, AnaMaria Seglie; Double crossings: Black Yankees, Pauline Hopkins and the Atlantic world, Laura Doyle; Bound for Boston: the significance of New England as the point of entry for visitors from Britain, Adam Hallett; That eternal ghost of trade: Anglo-American market culture and the antebellum stage Yankee, Matthew Pethers.

Forthcoming The American Idea of England, 1776–1840 Transatlantic Writing Jennifer Clark, University of New England, Australia Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies

“In her very readable and broad treatment of American views of England before 1840, Jennifer Clark gives emphasis to the range and diversity of responses which were neither static nor uniform…” —Andrew O’Shaughnessy, Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies, Monticello and University of Virginia Arguing that American colonists who declared their independence in 1776 remained tied to England by both habit and inclination, Clark traces the new Americans’ struggle to come to terms with their loss of identity as British, and particularly English, citizens. Clark’s study shows that any attempt to examine what it meant to be American in the New Nation must be situated within the context of the Anglo-American relationship. Contents: Introduction; ‘The Britainism of our great men!:’ Anglophilia, political writing and ther political context of American writing; The history of John Bull: allegorical writing, 1774–1835; The War of 1812: the idea of England and American nationalism; The paper war: Anglo-American recrimination and retaliation; Far hills look green: travel writing; ‘Fair, bur different’: England and the English in the American literary imagination, Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

“Emphasizing circulation and creolization in the Atlantic, this welcome collection explores the African presence in Romantic literature, culture and interpretation…” —Roxann Wheeler, The Ohio State University Highlighting the importance of diasporic people in shaping British Romanticism, this collection challenges descriptions of Romanticism as the expression of a national character or culture.

Contents: Introduction. Part I: Differences: The race of/in Romanticism, Marlon B. Ross; Our variousness, C.S. Giscombe; The African queen, Paul Youngquist. Part II: Resistances: Fictions of slave resistance and revolt: Robert Southey’s Poems on the Slave Trade (1797) and Charlotte Smith’s ‘The Story of Henrietta,’ Peter J.

Edited by Anne C. McDermott, University of Birmingham, UK Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers

The eighteenth century is renowned for the publication of Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language. Today it is still referred to as the first English dictionary thereby showing how decisively—and inaccurately—Johnson formed our sense of what a dictionary is. The essays and articles in this collection examine the already flourishing tradition of English lexicography from which Johnson drew, as represented by Kersey, Bailey and Martin, as well as the flourishing contemporary trade in encyclopedic, technical, pronunciation and bilingual lexicons.

Mary McAlpin, University of Tennessee In her study of the literature and medical treatises of Enlightenment France, McAlpin explores the belief that premature puberty in young urban girls signaled an increasing moral and physical degeneration. Offering physiologically based readings of heroines in novels by, among others, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Denis Diderot and Choderlos de Laclos, McAlpin shows that the Western view of women’s sexuality as a mysterious, nebulous force has its secular origins in the mid-eighteenth century.

“A wonderful collection, impressive in its internationalism and its careful attention to real and symbolic geographies. I do not know of any other collection that considers the Gothic as a global phenomenon in such detailed and rigorous ways.” —Kelly Hurley, University of Colorado, Boulder This collection takes up the influence of the Gothic mode in literatures that may be geographically remote from one another but still share related issues of minor languages, nation building, place and race. The essays explore the transgressions and confusion of borders and limits, whether they be linguistic, literary, generic, class-based, gendered or sexual. Experts in the Gothic and those new to the field will appreciate the book’s commitment to situating Gothic sensibilities in an international context. Contents: Introduction.

Forthcoming Graveyard Poetry Religion, Aesthetics and the MidEighteenth-Century Poetic Condition Eric Parisot, University of Queensland, Australia British Literature in Context in the Long Eighteenth Century

In the first book-length study of this important poetic mode, Parisot suggests that graveyard poetry is closely connected to the mid-eighteenth-century aesthetic revision of poetics. Parisot reads poetry by Robert Blair, Edward Young and Thomas Gray as a series of poetic experiments that attempt to accommodate changing religious and reading practices and translate religious concerns about death and salvation into parallel reconsiderations of poetic authority, agency, death and afterlife. Contents: Introduction: re-reading graveyard poetry; Prospects of eternity: the theology of poetic salvation; The problem of religious authority and poetic autonomy; Seeking the daimonic and the divine; The paths of glory: death and poetic ambition; In trembling hope: reading and the sympathetic afterlife; Post-mortem; Bibliography; Index.

British Literature in Context in the Long Eighteenth Century

In the eighteenth century, literary representations of slavery encompassed a range of physical and metaphysical conditions beyond the transatlantic slave trade. Without eliding the real and important differences between slave systems operating in the Atlantic world, this collection is a starting point for understanding the manner in which slavery became a powerful rhetorical device for helping British audiences gain a new perspective on their own position with respect to their government and the global sphere. Contents: Introduction: Invoking slavery in literature and scholarship. Section 1: Invocations of ‘Foreign’ or captive enslavement: The good-treatment debate, comparative slave studies, and the ‘Adventures’ of T.S., Adam Beach; Love’s slave: court slaves in the early eighteenth-century imagination, Amy Witherbee; Defoe’s Captain Singleton: a study of enslavement, Srividhya Swaminathan. Section 2: Political invocations of slavery and liberty: Slavery and obedience in Restoration and early eighteenthcentury drama, Jeffrey Galbraith; Hannah More’s Slavery and James Thomson’s Liberty: fond links, mad liberty and unfeeling bondage, Brett Wilson.

Making Gender, Culture, and the Self in the Fiction of Samuel Richardson The Novel Individual Bonnie Latimer, University of Plymouth, UK British Literature in Context in the Long Eighteenth Century

Proposing that Samuel Richardson’s novels were crucial for the construction of female individuality in the mid-eighteenth century, Latimer argues that Grandison must be recognized as Richardson’s final word on his re-envisioning of the gendered self. She calls for a rigorous rereading of the novel as a basis for reassessing Richardson’s fictional oeuvre that has implications for fresh thinking about the eighteenth-century novel.

Surveying the literary and cultural landscapes of the long eighteenth century, this collection examines the many locales that shaped Britons’ affiliations and identities.

Jane Austen and Animals

The Late Victorian Gothic

Barbara K. Seeber, Brock University

Mental Science, the Uncanny, and Scenes of Writing

“Barbara Seeber offers us a fascinating new Austen by situating her writing—from letters and poetry to short fiction and novels—in astutely aligned histories of women and animals…” —Teresa L. Mangum, The University of Iowa In her study of animals in Jane Austen, Seeber situates the author’s work within eighteenth- and nineteenth-century debates about human-animal relations. She shows that Austen associates the domination of animals with that of women, challenges readings that identify Austen’s depictions of nature as benign celebrations of England’s imperial power and demonstrates that Austen links meat consumption to a human-nature dualism that objectifies not only nature, but also the women who serve men.

Ridicule, Religion and the Politics of Wit in Augustan England

The Sentimental Theater of the French Revolution

Roger D. Lund, Le Moyne College

Performance in the Long Eighteenth Century: Studies in Theatre, Music, Dance

“…with encyclopedic erudition, Roger D. Lund lucidly delineates wit’s ascendant role during the long eighteenth century.” —Anna Battigelli, State University of New York, Plattsburgh Arguing for wit’s importance beyond its use as a literary device, Lund traces the process by which writers in Restoration and eighteenth-century England struggled to define an appropriate role for wit in the public sphere. He shows how fear of wit as a subversive rhetorical form threatening church and state resulted in attacks on heterodox writers, the Restoration stage and new communal venues such as coffee houses and clubs.

Politics and Genre in the Works of Elizabeth Hamilton, 1756–1816 Claire Grogan, Bishop’s University

16

In the first book-length study of Elizabeth Hamilton, Grogan addresses a significant gap in scholarship and complicates critical understanding of the Romantic woman writer. Arguing that politically centrist writers have been overlooked, Grogan suggests that situating Hamilton in terms of the Jacobin/anti-Jacobin framework obscures her radical innovations in the deployment of genre. Hamilton’s example shows new strategies for uncovering the means by which women writers participated in the revolutionary debate.

Realism and Space in the Novel, 1795–1869 Imagined Geographies Rosa Mucignat, King’s College London, UK Posing new questions about realism and the creative power of narratives, Mucignat offers fresh readings of novels by Goethe, Jane Austen, Alessandro Manzoni, Stendahl, Charles Dickens and Gustave Flaubert, to examine the links between the nineteenth-century novel’s interest in creating life-like worlds and contemporary developments in science, art and society. Her book evokes the way novels produce imagined geographies that intensify and even transform the reader’s experience of real-life places.

Robert Fergusson and the Scottish Periodical Press Rhona Brown, University of Glasgow, UK “Characterized by insightful close readings, this book offers an alternative way of reading this most vigorous and interesting poet…” —Suzanne Gilbert, University of Stirling, UK Though Robert Fergusson published only one collection of poems during his lifetime, he was a fixture in the Scottish periodical press. Brown explores Fergusson’s poetic output in its immediate periodical context, enabling a new understanding of Fergusson’s contribution to poetry that also enlarges on our understanding of the Scottish periodical press and the political climate of Enlightenment Scotland.

Travel Narratives, the New Science, and Literary Discourse, 1569–1750 Edited by Judy A. Hayden, University of Tampa “…the collection brings together generally solid and useful essays, as well as a comprehensive bibliography that will be of interest to historians of science and early modern literary historians, especially those working with English archives…” —Huntington Library Quarterly The focus of this volume is the intersection and the cross-fertilization between the travel narrative, literary discourse and the New Philosophy in the early modern to early eighteenth-century historical periods. Contributors examine how, in an historical era which realized an emphasis on nation and during a time when exploration was laying the foundation for empire, science and the literary discourse of the travel narrative become intrinsically linked.

Forthcoming William Blake and the Productions of Time Andrew M. Cooper, University of Texas, Austin As opposed to the idea that a writer’s work reflects his experiences in time and place, Cooper locates the action of William Blake’s major Illuminated Books in the ahistorical present, an impersonal spirit realm beyond the three-dimensional self. Historicist attempts to place Blake’s vision in perspective, Cooper argues, involve a self-contradictory denial of his performativity as a poet-artist of multiple geometrical dimensions. Contents: Introduction; Blake’s post-Enlightened anamnesis; Seeing voices in Songs of Innocence; The skewed empiricism of Blake’s early tractates; Common sense in Visions of the Daughters of Albion; Storytelling through the vortex of sense; Freedom from The Book of Urizen; The picture of the mind in ‘the vision of the Last Judgment;’ The physiology of vision in Milton; Conclusion: ‘1804;’ Bibliography; Index.

Writing Wales, from the Renaissance to Romanticism Edited by Stewart Mottram, University of Hull, UK and Sarah Prescott, Aberystwyth University, UK Writing Wales explores representations of Wales in English and Welsh literatures written across three tumultuous centuries, from Wales’ union with England in 1536, to its industrialization in the early nineteenth-century. Uniquely, it explores how period divisions like “Renaissance” and “Romanticism” have helped shape scholarly treatments of Wales, and it asks if we should continue to reinforce such period divisions, or else reconfigure our approach to Wales’ literary past. Contents: Introduction, Stewart Mottram and Sarah Prescott. Part 1: Renaissance to 17th Century: Early modern Welsh nationalism and the British history, Grace Jones; Writing on borderlines: Anglo-Welsh relations in Thomas Churchyard’s The Worthines of Wales, Liz Oakley-Brown; Green tights and swordfights: Edward I and the making of memories, Alex May; ‘Prince of Wales by Cambria’s full consent’?: the Princedom of Wales and the early modern stage, Marisa R.

Art and Visual Studies

Series British art: global contexts Series Editors: Jason Edwards, University of York, UK, Sarah Monks, University of East Anglia and Sarah Victoria Turner, University of York, UK British Art: Global Contexts provides a forum for the study of British art and visual culture in the global context from 1700 to the present day. The main focus of the series is threefold: the transport, location and reception of British art across the world; the British reception and exhibition of art from around the globe and transnational and cosmopolitan art containing significant British components.

Artwriting, Nation, and Cosmopolitanism in Britain The ‘Englishness’ of English Art Theory since the Eighteenth Century Mark A. Cheetham, University of Toronto British Art: Global Contexts

“…Mark Cheetham rigorously articulates the implicit theoretical armature of English artwriting…” —Gary Shapiro, University of Richmond

18

Arguing in favor of a critical return to the “nation” as a category, this study provides the first sustained account of artwriting in the British context over the full extent of its development from the eighteenth century to the present day. Mark A. Cheetham asks whether “English” traditions of artwriting have been judged inappropriately according to imported criteria—and demonstrates that “English Art Theory” is not an oxymoron.

Forthcoming Biography, Identity and the Modern Interior Edited by Penny Sparke, Kingston University, UK and Anne Massey, Middlesex University, UK Through a series of case studies from the mideighteenth century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer design and architectural historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice. Contents: Introduction, Penny Sparke and Anne Massey; No body’s place: on 18th-century kitchens, Carolyn Steedman; The many lives of Red House, Barbara Penner and Charles Rice; At home, 16 Tite Street, Richard W. Hayes; Writing home: the colonial memories of lady Barker, 1870–1904, Emma Ferry; Body, room, photograph: negotiating identity in the self-portraits of Lady Ottoline Morrell, Inga Fraser; Inside out: Elsa Schiaparelli, interiors, and autobiography, Tom Tredway; Illusion and delusion: validating the artificial interior, Gene Bawden; Jean Genet, or the interiors of marginality in 1930s Europe, Cristóbal Amunátegui; Mario Praz: autobiography and the object(s) of memory, Shax Riegler; Art, architecture and life: the interior of Casa de Vidro, the house of Lina Bo Bardi and Pietro Maria Bardi, Aline Coelho Sanches Corato; Negotiating interiority: displacement and belonging in the ‘autoportraits’ of Lydia Maria Julien, Harriet Riches; The private self: interior and the presenting of memory, Vesna Goldsworthy; Bibliogrpahy; Index.

Forthcoming The Concept of the ‘Master’ in Art Education in Britain and Ireland, 1770 to the Present Edited by Matthew Potter, Northumbria University, UK A novel investigation into art pedagogy and constructions of national identities in Britain and Ireland, this collection explores the student-master relationship in case studies ranging chronologically from 1770 to 2012, and geographically over the national art schools of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Essays explore the manner in which the Old Masters were deployed in education; fueled the individual genius of art teachers and students; were used as a rhetorical tool for promoting cultural projects in the core and periphery of the British Isles; and united as well as divided opinions in response to changing expectations in discourse on art and education. Contents: Preface; Introduction; Naturalising tradition: why learning from the master?, Iris Wien; Pro-commerce: the Old Masters and art education in England, 1753–c.1875, Paul Barlow; The John Frederick Lewis Collection at the Royal Scottish Academy: watercolour copies of old masters as teaching aid, Joanna Soden; British art students and German masters: W.B. Spence and the reform of German art academies, Saskia Pütz; Standing in Reynolds’ shadow: the academic discourses of Frederic Leighton and the legacy of the first President of the Royal Academy, Matthew C.

Transculturation in British Art, 1770–1930 Edited by Julie F. Codell, Arizona State University British Art: Global Contexts

“This book significantly advances the field of art and empire, our knowledge of imperial artists and our sense of the visual as a key medium for understanding the meeting of cultures under asymmetrical relations of power.” —Tim Barringer, Yale University Examining painting, photography, illustration, sculpture and architecture from 1770 to 1930, authors explore art that shaped, negotiated and represented transculturation in the British Empire and in countries under British colonial influences (Congo, Japan and Turkey). Authors analyze works’ cross-cultural meanings in two transcultural dimensions: changing interpretations of single works over time for colonial and postcolonial spectators, and across space in works’ replications or multiples in both metropole and colonial spaces.

Painting the Imagination

Dorinda Evans, Emory University

Leo Costello, Rice University

Melissa Percival, University of Exeter, UK “In this smartly written, thoroughly researched work, Fragonard and the Fantasy Figure, Melissa Percival explodes the myth that Fragonard’s fantasy figures are dazzling but impenetrable images; she offers instead a wide range of interpretive perspectives that provides the ground for a renewed appreciation of these works. In a book that is a model of scholarly clarity, Percival has made a valuable contribution to Fragonard studies.” —Julie-Anne Plax, University of Arizona A fresh interpretation of Fragonard’s “figures de fantaisie,” Fragonard and the Fantasy Figure: Painting the Imagination reconnects Fragonard’s paintings with a neglected tradition of fantasy figures in European art, and situates them within the cultural and aesthetic contexts of eighteenthcentury France. This study defines Fragonard as a painter of the imagination, and shows how the fantasy figure, with its unusual juxtapositions and humor, engages the imagination of artist and viewer.

Funerary Arts and Tomb Cult— Living with the Dead in France, 1750–1870 Suzanne Glover Lindsay, University of Pennsylvania This book sheds new light on the interplay of the funerary arts, tomb cult and the mentalities that shaped them in France, over a period famous for profound and often violent change. Using previously untouched archival sources and period published material, this study proposes new and vital contexts for nineteenth-century France’s celebrated funerary projects, often profoundly reinterpreting them, and brings to light significant enterprises that are little known today.

This groundbreaking study demonstrates that Gilbert Stuart suffered from a hereditary form of manic depression, leading him to create pictures that contain peculiar lapses characteristic of a manic-depressive, or bipolar, artist. Using documentary and empirical evidence—from diaries and letters to x-radiographs of paintings—Evans fills important gaps in our knowledge of Stuart, and connects the strange visual effects in some of Stuart’s paintings with cognitive deficits attendant with the disorder. Contents: Introduction: Stuart in every line; The case for bipolarity; Marked pictures; Newton’s inheritance; The taint of madness; Similarities in a shared illness; Epilogue: myths and distortions; Selected bibliography; Index.

“This book’s thick-textured narrative, abounding with theory and informed by a wealth of current and contemporary source material, will please specialist readers…Highly recommended.” —Choice J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History is an in-depth consideration of the artist’s complex response to the challenge of creating history paintings in the early nineteenth century. Structured around the dual themes of making and unmaking, this book examines how Turner’s history paintings reveal changing notions of individual and collective identity at a time when the British Empire was simultaneously developing and fragmenting.

Marketing Art in the British Isles, 1700 to the Present A Cultural History Edited by Charlotte Gould, University Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle, France, and Sophie Mesplède, University of Rennes 2, France This collection explores Britain’s struggle to carve a niche for itself on the international art scene. International scholars shed new light on such notions as the internationalization of the art market; the emergence of an increasingly complex exhibition culture; issues of national rivalry; artists’ strategies for their own promotion; the persistent anticommercialism of an elite group of art lovers and critics and accusations of philistinism leveled at the middle classes.

The Materiality of Color The Production, Circulation, and Application of Dyes and Pigments, 1400–1800 Edited by Andrea Feeser, Clemson University, Maureen Daly Goggin, Arizona State University and Beth Fowkes Tobin, University of Georgia The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700–1950

“…Blending the histories of technologies and commodities as well as cultural and literary history, the volume makes a distinctive contribution to understanding of the global context in which the modern world of color was born.” —Robert Finlay, University of Arkansas

20

The purpose of this essay collection is to recover color’s complex and sometimes morally troubling past. By emphasizing color’s materiality, and how it was produced, exchanged and used, contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood, sweat and tears that went into its production, circulation and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts.

Forthcoming The Museum of French Monuments 1795–1816 ‘Killing art to make history’ Alexandra Stara, Kingston University, UK The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700–1950

The first volume in two centuries on Alexandre Lenoir’s Museum of French Monuments in Paris, this study presents a comprehensive picture of a seminal project of French Revolutionary cultural policy—one crucial to the development of the modern museum institution. The book offers a new critical perspective of the Museum’s importance and continuing relevance to the history of material culture and collecting, through juxtaposition with its main opponent, the respected connoisseur and theorist Quatremère de Quincy. This innovative approach highlights the cultural and intellectual context of the debate, situating it in the dilemmas of emerging modernity, the idea of nationhood and changing attitudes to art and its histories. Contents: Preface; Introduction; A history; A visit; In search of order; The opposition; The inevitability of the museum; Bibliography; Index.

Livio Pestilli, Trinity College, Rome Campus, Italy “…Few art historians can match Pestilli’s knowledge of the literary scene, the international politics, the natural science and classical scholarship of the period. Pestilli manages to give full attention to De Matteis’ professional aspirations, to the subject matter of his paintings, to his pictorial technique and preparatory drawings, while also illuminating the complex historiographical legacy that has long obscured the artist’s reputation. —Thomas Willette, University of Michigan A long overdue re-assessment of the Neapolitan painter Paolo de Matteis, this volume examines the artist’s most significant works and shows how posterity’s impression of him has been conditioned by a biased biographical and literary tradition. More than just a novel approach to de Matteis, however, the book serves as a window into early eighteenthcentury art and cultural history, not only in Naples but in Paris, Vienna, Genoa and Rome. Contents: Introduction. Part I: Framing the Artist: A fabricated life; Enter the critic. Part II: Paintings: ‘Napoli nobilissima;’ Circa 1700; Naples again; A Herculean feat; The celebratory self; Supporting authorship; The skill of a ‘Valentuomo;’ Portraying Carthusian values; Campanian connections; The remains of the day.

Forthcoming Place-making for the Imagination: Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill Marion Harney, University of Bath, UK Avoiding the straightforward architectural description of previous texts, this beautifully illustrated book reveals the Gothic villa and associated landscape to be inspired by theories that stimulate “The Pleasures of the Imagination” articulated in the series of essays by Joseph Addison (1672–1719) published in the Spectator (1712). Linked to this argument, it proposes that the concepts behind the designs for Strawberry Hill are not based around architectural precedent but around eighteenth-century aesthetics theories, antiquarianism and matters of “Taste.” Contents: Preface: Walpole moves from Strawberry Hill to Connecticut; Introduction: ‘things come to light:’ experiment and experience: the philosophical and cultural context; ‘The pleasures of the imagination:’ tropes of taste; ‘Giving an idea of the spirit of the times:’ anecdotes and antiquarianism; I am going to build a little Gothic castle at Strawberry Hill:’ creation of a seat, part 1; ‘The art of creating landscape:’ creation of a seat, part 2; Epilogue: ‘a genius is original, invents. Taste selects, perhaps copies with judgement;’ Bibliography; Index.

Suffering and Sentiment in Romantic Military Art Philip Shaw, University of Leicester, UK “Beautifully written, lucid and theoretically sophisticated, Philip Shaw’s study of Romantic military art is a consistently illuminating account of an enormously significant but often overlooked subject.” —Christopher Rovee, Stanford University In a moving intervention into Romantic-era depictions of the dead and wounded, Philip Shaw’s timely study directs our gaze to the neglected figure of the common soldier. He examines a wide range of print and visual media, including paintings, political prose, anti-war poetry, early photographs and the letters and journals of soldiers and surgeons, uncovering a history of changing attitudes that qualify notions of suffering on and off the battlefield as noble or heroic. Contents: Introduction; Seeing through tears I; Seeing through tears II; ‘Complicated woe:’ military art of the 1790s; All the news that’s fit to paint; Images of wounding in the aftermath of war; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

Liam Lenihan, University College Cork, Ireland Examining the literary career of the 18th century British painter James Barry, 1741–1806 through an interdisciplinary methodology, The Writings of James Barry and the Genre of History Painting, 1775–1809 is the first full-length study of the artist’s writings. Liam Lenihan critically assesses the artist’s own aesthetic philosophy about painting and printmaking, and reveals the extent to which Barry wrestles with the significant stylistic transformations of the pre-eminent artistic genre of his age: history painting. Lenihan’s book delves into the connections between Barry’s writings and art, and the cultural and political issues that dominated the public sphere in London during the American and French Revolutions. Contents: Introduction: James Barry’s writings and the genre of history painting; Barry’s Inquiry into public taste; The Progress of Human Culture as a narrative of enlightenment; Barry’s Lectures on Painting and the Royal Academy of Arts; Wollstonecraft’s reading of Milton and the sublime of Barry, Fuseli and Blake; Barry’s Self-Portrait as Timanthes and his tenure as professor of painting; Conclusion: history painting as a ‘union of talents;’ Works cited; Index.

The Journals and Letters of Susan Burney Music and Society in Late Eighteenth-Century England Philip Olleson, University of Nottingham, UK

22

“Susan Burney’s wonderfully vivid picture of social and musical life in London and the Home Counties during the 1780s comes in a hitherto unpublished series of letter-journals. The jewel in the crown for music historians is her amazing record of a year in the life of the Italian opera company at the King’s Theatre. We are transported back into its world of gossip and adulation as leading castrati mingled with their aristocratic backers…” —Ian Woodfield, Queen’s University Belfast, UK Susan Burney (1755–1800), daughter of the music historian Charles Burney and sister of the novelist Frances (Fanny) Burney, was a knowledgeable enthusiast for music, particularly for opera, with the ability to capture vividly musical life and the personalities involved in it. Her extensive journals and letters, a selection from which is presented here, provide a striking portrait of social, domestic and cultural life in London, the Home Counties and in Ireland in the late eighteenth century. They are of the greatest importance and interest to musicologists and historians.

The Library of Essays on Music, Politics and Society

The articles gathered together in this volume look at patronage in its broadest sense: individual and traditional court patronage as well as patronage within states and organizations. The subject is further explored by articles on the means of distribution of music, such as printing and the internet and the inclusion of music in collaborative arts such as film. The volume considers both sacred and secular music, employs a range of different approaches, ranges in time from the courts of ancient Mesopotamia, India and China to the new millennium, and covers most regions of the world. Includes 23 previously published journal articles November 2012 626 pages Hardback 978-1-4094-3106-0 $325.00 www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409431060

Music as a Science of Mankind in Eighteenth-Century Britain Maria Semi, University of Bologna, Italy “I recommend this book to a wide audience… absolutely engrossing and satisfying.” —Early Music America Music as a Science of Mankind offers a philosophical and historical perspective on the intellectual representation of music in British eighteenthcentury culture. A particularly rich field of investigation, developed between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was the British philosophy of the mind and of human understanding which looked at music and found in its realm a way of understanding human experience. Maria Semi sheds light on how these reflections moved towards a Science of Music: the discipline that was later to be known as “musicology.” Includes 5 b&w illustrations January 2012 196 pages Hardback 978-1-4094-2868-8 $99.95 ebook PDF 978-1-4094-2869-5 ebook ePUB 978-1-4094-9516-1 www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409428688

Understanding Mozart’s Piano Sonatas John Irving, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK “…an inspiring contribution to Mozart studies that addresses the meeting point of analysis, reception history and performance practice… a wealth of information and well-reasoned analysis.” —Early Music 2010 172 pages Hardback 978-0-7546-6769-8 $99.95 ebook PDF 978-1-4094-1023-2 ebook ePUB 978-1-4094-9409-6

Music, Sexuality and the Enlightenment in Mozart’s Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte Charles Ford, Institute of Musical Research, University of London, UK “…Through music we feel, and through feeling we come to know (and know how to make) difference. Ford guides us adroitly, aria by aria, scene by scene, in Mozart’s art of tonal identification. Music, Sexuality and the Enlightenment illuminates music as an insidious and insinuating medium of social performance.” —Tia DeNora, University of Exeter, UK This analytical study explains how Mozart’s music for Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte “sounds” the intentions of Da Ponte’s characters and their relationships with one another. Mozart did not merely interpret Da Ponte’s characterizations but lent them temporal, musical forms. Charles Ford’s analysis presents a new method by which to relate the music of the operas to the thinking of the European Enlightenment, involving close readings of late eighteenth-century understandings of “man” and nature, self and other, morality and transgression, and gendered identities and sexuality. Includes 7 b&w illustrations and 134 musical examples May 2012 350 pages Hardback 978-0-7546-6889-3 $119.95 978-1-4094-4236-3 ebook PDF 978-1-4094-9543-7 ebook ePUB www.ashgate.com/isbn/9780754668893

Opera, Theatrical Culture and Society in Late EighteenthCentury Naples Anthony R. DelDonna, Georgetown University Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera

“…It is to DelDonna’s great credit that he gives ballet its rightful place in the history of theater in the city. Concentrating on a few carefully selected operas and ballets, DelDonna highlights the theatrical politics of the time, the aims of the various dramatists, choreographers and musicians working in Naples and the significance of the results they obtained.” —Michael Robinson, Cardiff University, UK Anthony R. DelDonna provides a rich study of operatic culture from 1775–1800. The book demonstrates how contemporary stage traditions, stimulated by the Enlightenment, engaged with and responded to the changing social, political and artistic contexts of the late eighteenth century in Naples.
