The essays in this collection range across literature, aesthetics,
music and art, and explore such themes as the dynamics of change in
eighteenth-century aesthetics; time, modernity and the picturesque;
the function of graphic ornaments in eighteenth-century texts;
imaginary voyages as a literary genre; the genesis of children's
literature; the Italian opera and musical theory in Frances
Burney's novels; Italian and British art theories; and patterns of
cultural transfers and of book circulation between Britain and
Italy in the eighteenth century. Collectively they epitomise the
concerns and approaches of scholars working on the long eighteenth
century at this challenging and exciting time. In the absence of
universally agreed, overarching interpretations of the cultural
history of the long eighteenth century, these papers pave the way
for the ultimate emergence of such explanations.Authors discussed
here include Margaret Cavendish, David Russen, Francis Hutcheson,
Reverend Gilpin, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Laurence
Sterne, Dugald Stewart, Dorothy Kilner, Frances Burney, Anna Gordon
Brown, Saverio Bettinelli, Henry Ince Blundell, Francesco
Algarotti, Ugo Foscolo and Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi.
