In this book the eighteenth century Enlightenment receives an
important reassessment, using an astonishing range of materials and
objects drawn from Europe and beyond, including artefacts from
India and China, West Africa and Polynesia. A series of
authoritative essays written by experts in the field explores the
full range of material culture in the long eighteenth century,
raising crucial questions about notions of property and invention,
homely and commercial lives. The book also includes a series of
well-illustrated exhibits, a startling and provocative assemblage
of objects from the Enlightenment world, each accompanied by expert
commentaries. The collection of essays and exhibits is the result
of collaborative debate by scholars from Europe and north America,
who have together worked on the cross-disciplinary importance of
material history in making sense of how past society was
fundamentally transformed through the world of goods.

How did the Victorian fixation on the disastrous John Franklin
expedition transform our understanding of the Northwest Passage and
the Arctic? Today we still tend to see the Arctic and the Northwest
Passage through nineteenth-century perspectives, which focused on
the discoveries of individual explorers, their illustrated books,
visual culture, imperial ambitions, and high-profile disasters.
However, the farther back one looks, the more striking the
differences appear in how Arctic exploration was envisioned.
Writing Arctic Disaster uncovers a wide range of exploration
cultures: from the manuscripts of secretive corporations like the
Hudson's Bay Company, to the nationalist Admiralty and its
innovative illustrated books, to the searches for and exhibits of
disaster relics in the Victorian era. This innovative study reveals
the dangerous afterlife of this Victorian conflation of exploration
and disaster, in the geopolitical significance accruing around the
2014 discovery of Franklin's ship Erebus in the Northwest Passage.

Incarnations of fatal women, or femmes fatales, recur throughout
the works of women writers in the Romantic period. Adriana Craciun
demonstrates how portrayals of femmes fatales or fatal women played
an important role in the development of Romantic women's poetic
identities and informed their exploration of issues surrounding the
body, sexuality and politics. Craciun covers a wide range of
writers and genres from the 1790s through the 1830s. She discusses
the work of well-known figures including Mary Wollstonecraft, as
well as lesser-known writers like Anne Bannerman. By examining
women writers' fatal women in historical, political and medical
contexts, Craciun uncovers a far-ranging debate on sexual
difference. She also engages with current research on the history
of the body and sexuality, providing an important historical
precedent for modern feminist theory's ongoing dilemma regarding
the status of 'woman' as a sex.
