Volume 42 explores material culture, the visual arts, literature,
opera, and the stage during the long eighteenth century in France,
Britain, the Americas, and China. These essays examine encounters
between Europe and the Americas, the Orient and the Occident, as
well as the challenges of translation. Several authors analyze the
role of gender in literature and life, exploring themes of
intimacy, interiority, authority, and knowledge. Table of Contents:
