Description:
This volume presents a group of essays that evoke broad contexts and future avenues for work in the field of eighteenth-century studies. The contributors take up the question of "identity", not as a fixed, stable property whose boundaries may be confidently mapped, but rather as a complex and unpredictable process navigating different discourses and modes of social insertion. They address issues that involve national, linguistic, and cultural affiliations or call into question the relation of gender performance to literary persona.

The contents include Diane Fourny's essay on "ethics and otherness" in Diderot; Richard Morton's study of the politics of translation in Dryden; two very different studies of authorial self-presentation by James Dillon and Gregory Brown; Beate Allert's analysis of visual language; a pair of essays on landscape aesthetics, politics, and literature by Julie Rak and Richard Quaintance; and a trio of essays that deal with the elusive object of interdisciplinary desire at the intersection of literature, mathematics, and science by Rebecca Connor, Theodore E. D. Braun, and Alan T. McKenzie, and Ann T. McKenzie.
