Reviews for Enlightenment and Emancipation
With the publication of Enlightenment and Emancipation, we at last have a true and attentive taxonomy of emancipation, a disciplined overview that examines this process in all its aspects, whether as a literary theme, a state of political affairs, a philosophical ideal, or even a musical motif. Fresh and daring...indispensable to eighteenth-century studies.
