The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The
eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity
followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and
Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style
dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments
in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional
works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic
operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled
