Throughout history, varying responses to catastrophe have revealed
much about a society's cultural and philosophical character. In
"Dreadful Visitations," leading scholars of different disciplines
examine eighteenth-century responses to natural disaster, showing
how human agency played an active role in the creation of
destructive circumstances, and how these disasters helped to
establish national and moral identities in the Age of Reason.
Contributors: David Arnold, Daniel Gordon, Carla Hesse, George
Starr, Alan Taylor, Steven Tobriner and Charles Walker.
