If creativity is the highest expression of the life impulse, why do
creative individuals who have made lasting contributions to the
arts and sciences so often end their lives? M.F. Alvarez addresses
this central paradox by exploring the inner lives and works of
eleven creative visionaries who succumbed to suicide. Through a
series of case studies, Alvarez shows that creativity and suicide
are both attempts to authenticate and resolve personal catastrophes
that have called into question the most basic conditions of human
existence.

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.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
