The mastery of nature was viewed by eighteenth-century historians
as an important measure of the progress of civilization. Modern
scholarship has hitherto taken insufficient notice of this
important idea. This book discusses the topic in connection with
the mainstream religious, political, and philosophical elements of
Enlightenment culture. It considers works by Edward Gibbon,
Voltaire, Herder, Vico, Raynal, Hume, Adam Smith, William
Robertson, and a wide range of lesser- and better-known figures. It
also discusses many classical, medieval, and early modern sources
which influenced Enlightenment historiography, as well as
eighteenth-century attitudes toward nature in general.
