The injunction, 'Know thyself!', resounding down the centuries, has
never lost its appeal and urgency. The 'self' remains an abiding
and universal concern, something at once intimate, indispensable
and elusive; something we take for granted and yet remains
difficult to pin down, describe or define. This volume of twelve
essays explores how writers in different domains - philosophers and
thinkers, novelists, poets, churchmen, political writers and others
- construed, fashioned and expressed the self in written form in
Great Britain in the course of the long eighteenth century from the
Restoration to the period of the French Revolution. The essays are
preceded by an introduction that seeks to frame several key aspects
of the debate on the self in a succinct and open-minded spirit. The
volume foregrounds the coming into being of a recognisably modern
self. -- .
