The chapters, written by leading international experts, represent the most cutting-edge research within the field and include:
- The High Enlightenment
- Polite Culture and the Arts
- Reforming the World
- Material and Pop Culture
- Transformations and Exploration.
Covering topics as diverse as government, fashion, craftsmen and artisans, philanthropy, cross-cultural encounters, feminism, censorship, science and education, this volume will provide essential reading for all students of the Enlightenment.
