Colonization, slavery, traffic in women, and connoisseurship seem to have particularly captured the imaginations of circumatlantic writers of the later eighteenth century. In this book, Nandini Bhattacharya examines the works of such writers as Richard Brinsley Sheridan, George Colman Jr., James Cobb and Phillis Wheatley, who redefined ideas about value and taste. She explores the circumatlantic redefinition of Taste and Value as cultural and moral concepts in gender and racial discourses in slave-owning, colonizing and connoisseurial Britain, and demonstrates how values and aesthetics were re

By pairing individual novels by women with those by men, the author is able to explore multiple dimensions and implications of intertextuality across gender lines during the formative century of novel-writing in England. Dealing with pairs of novels by Eliza Haywood and Daniel Defoe, Henry and Sarah Fielding, Samuel Richardson and Charlotte Lenox, Tobias Smollett and Frances Burney, and Ann Radcliffe and Matthew G. Lewis allows Bartolomeo to describe, analyze, and elevate early women novelists’ achievements.

Missing from most accounts of the modern history of Jews in Europe is the experience of what was once the largest Jewish community in the world--an oversight that Gershon David Hundert corrects in this history of Eastern European Jews in the eighteenth century. The experience of eighteenth-century Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not fit the pattern of integration and universalization--in short, of westernization--that historians tend to place at the origins of Jewish modernity. Hundert puts this experience, that of the majority of the Jewish people, at the center of his history.

The author argues that two Vietnamese states with distinctive characteristics existed from the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries. The southern part, under the rule of the Nguyen dynasty, represented a land of possibility and expansion to northerners. Li Tana’s study focuses upon the socio
