Dear Reader,
As you will see from the size and scope of this new catalogue
Eighteenth-Century Studies remains at the core of our list,
with an impressive range of both monographs and major works
collections. You will fnd some exciting new additions to our well-
regarded series Eighteenth Century Political Biographies. We
hope to grow this list further still, but in the meantime the new
biographies of Haywood, Paine and J ohnson will be of interest to
many scholars.
Our other established monograph series also continue to grow.
In particular The Enlightenment World series now boasts a
signifcant number of titles. Many of these have been very well
received, as you will see from the review quotes we have included
in this catalogue. For those who have missed out on some of the
earlier books in the series this catalogue also includes a great
discount offer on the frst ten titles. There is a similar offer on
some of the titles in our Chawton House Novels series. This series
brings rare but signifcant novels by women writers to a wider
audience, in scholarly new editions, making a signifcant addition
to the study of womens writing.
Those of you interested in the turbulent political events of the
early part of the century will also welcome our new edition
of The Unpublished Letters of Henry St John, First Viscount
Bolingbroke. These fve volumes bring together nearly 2,000 of
Bolingbrokes letters never before made widely available.
Whatever your specialism I hope you fnd something of interest
in this catalogue. We remain committed to publishing the best of
academic research on the Eighteenth Century and I would like to
hear from anyone with new ideas to add to this list.

A Polit ica l Biogr a p h y of
Th om a s Pa in e
W A Sp eck
Thomas Paine (17371809) was a
radical, a revolutionary, an author and
a pamphleteer. Denounced in Britain
following the publication of the Rights
of Man (1791), Paines intellectual
legacy is such that he is still cited in
the political rhetoric of today. Specks
biography examines Paines work in
light of new thinking about the role
of religion in the formation of his
political ideology, and also places
Paine within the context of Atlantic
History.

Samuel J ohnson (170984) rose from
obscure origins to become one of the
major literary fgures of the eighteenth
century. Through a detailed survey
not only of J ohnsons major works,
but his numerous pieces of political
journalism, Hudson constructs a
complex picture of J ohnson as a
deeply committed Christian moralist
who came to accept the essentially
realistic nature of politics during an
era of revolutionary transition.

One of the most durable eighteenth-
century writers, J oseph Addison
(16721719) is best remembered for
his sparkling and rangy entries in
the Tatler and the Spectator, both
co-edited with Richard Steele. By the
early 1710s, when the Tory ascendency
prompted his turn to periodical
writing, Addison was a political fxture.
This biography puts his literary career
into a political context.

never wrote any thing in a political

life through the prism of her shifting

J ohn Toland was notorious.
Condemned by the Middlesex Grand
J ury and the Irish parliament for
authoring Christianity Not Mysterious
(1696), he was to spend much of his
career on the fringes of intellectual life
in Britain and beyond. Yet he was also
an intimate of a series of infuential
politicians and played a crucial part
in the Hanoverian succession of 1714.
This study is the frst to fully recount
his remarkable biography, and to
situate his writings fully within the
controversies that shaped them.

William King (16501729) was
perhaps the dominant Irish intellect
of the period from 1688 until his
death in 1729. An Anglican (Church
of Ireland) by conversion, King was a
strident critic of J ohn Toland and the
clerical superior of J onathan Swift.
This biography examines his political
career and sets King in the context of
his peers.

sympathies and his involvement in the

the 1730s. This biography covers the
whole range of the poets life, starting
with his family background and the
extended Catholic circle in which he
continued to move.

upheaval. These shifting perceptions
are in evidence in the writings of
political commentators including
Samuel J ohnson, Thomas Paine, J ohn

Dialogue was a pivotal genre for
the spread of Enlightenment ideas.
Focusing on non-canonical British
writers Wallbank examines the
evolution of dialogue as a genre
during the Romantic period. He
argues that dialogue often adopted
a didactic stance explicitly geared
towards making an argument sound
persuasive, and demonstrates its
infuence in the development of such
innovations as the realist novel,
philosophical perspectivism and the
advent of psychoanalysis.
Wallbanks study offers an important
addition to Romanticism criticism. It
will enrich our understanding of the
cultural landscape of the period through
its careful attention to the textual and
political nuances of a genre whose
important role has too often been
overlooked. Pa u l Keen , Ca r let on

British architecture moved away from
the dominant school of classicism
during the eighteenth century in
favour of a more creative freedom of
expression. At the forefront of this
change were architect brothers Robert
and J ames Adam. While previous
studies on the Adam brothers have
focused on describing their style and
their inspirations, Kondos work places
them within the context of eighteenth-

Under the 1737 Licensing Act, Covent
Garden, Dury Lane and regional
Theatres Royal held a monopoly on
the dramatic canon. Worrall explores
the presentation of foreign cultures
and ethnicities on the popular British
stage from 1750 to 1840. He argues
that this illegitimate stage was the site
for a plebeian Enlightenment.
This book is extensively documented
and benefts from Worralls thorough
research of dramatic subgenres.

British imperial encounters with
indigenous cultures created
perceptions and stereotypes that still
persist today. The initial creation of
racial images in relation to violence
such as warrior race or unoffending
people had particular consequences
for land ownership. Whilst the Maori
of New Zealand were understood to
be sovereign owners of their country,
Australian Aboriginals were not.
Standfeld examines these differences
and how they occurred.

Since the early seventeenth century,
Scotlands economy rested on a
traditional baseline of raw goods;
cattle, linen, coal, salt and herring.
As important debates on economic
ideals began to fourish among
Enlightenment thinkers, Scotland
became a testing ground for macro-
economic experiments. Rssner argues
that mercantilism helped Scotlands
economy during the 1730s and 40s,
providing a more positive and effcient
framework than contemporary
thinkers like Adam Smith would have
us believe.

Early modern European thought
held that men and women were
essentially the same, with social forces
creating their differences. During the
seventeenth century, medical and legal
arguments began to turn against this
one sex model, with hermaphroditism
seen as a medieval superstition. This
book traces this change in Iberia in
comparison to the earlier shift in
thought in northern Europe, and with
concurrent ideas in Latin America.

Inchbald worked carefully to mould

Robertson gauges the extent of her

Kelly McGu ir e
McGuire examines the presentation
of suicide within the genre of the
eighteenth-century novel as both a
feminine action and a declaration of
national identity. She argues that the
cultural medium of the novel affords
a space to examine representations of
suicide, as female characters do not
merely take their lives in these works;
they sacrifce themselves to another or
to a larger cause.

Slavery casts a long shadow over

the chief mechanism of slavery was
seen as violent abduction, this view
is being adjusted to recognise the
importance of fnancial indebtedness
in creating and sustaining human
bondage. Filling a signifcant gap in
the historiography, the essays in this
volume show that debt slavery has
played a crucial role in the economic
history of numerous societies which

Freemasonry was a major
component of British cultural,
social and intellectual life during
the Enlightenment era. It was also a
successful British export, becoming
popular around the globe and evolving
into one of the social forces that bound
the countries of the Empire together.
In contrast to the secrecy that
surrounds the movement today, the
eighteenth-century press was able to
report on the feasts, processions and
concerts that were held and to even list
some of the members by name.
This primary resource collection
covers Institutions, Rituals
(two volumes), Debates and
Representations. Documents include
minutes of meetings, rituals (some
written in code), funeral services,
sermons, membership lists, letters,
pamphlets, theatrical prologues
and epilogues, and articles from
newspapers and periodicals. Material
is rare and much of it comes from
unpublished manuscript sources held
in Masonic archives.

The British led the way in
holidaymaking and a whole new
literature emerged to cater to the
needs of tourists. Travel during the
eighteenth century was only available
to the wealthiest people, so guides
were produced for their beneft alone.
With the advent of steam, cheap travel
became possible, extending the circle
of those able to travel and leading to
some of the earliest specialist guide
books.
This collection brings together texts
on the various forms of transport
used by tourists, the destinations they
visited, the role of entertainments and
accommodation and how these things
affected the way that tourism evolved
over two centuries. Documents include
book excerpts, journal articles, railway
guides, parliamentary acts, letters,
guide books, handbills, pamphlets and
diaries.

The latter half of the eighteenth-
century saw Irish opposition
movements being greatly infuenced by
the American and French revolutions.
The political landscape of the country
underwent dramatic changes as
both Protestant and Catholic groups
expanded their ideologies in reaction
to this foreign radicalism.
This two-part edition illustrates the
depth and reach of this infuence by
collecting rare pamphlets dealing
with the major political issues of these
decades. Part I covers the impact of
the American Revolution on Irish
radicalism and the rise of the Irish
Volunteers. Part II presents materials
prompted by the French Revolution,
including the ideology of the Society of
United Irishmen.

Handels Rinaldo, frst performed in
1711, helped to establish the popularity
of the all-sung, Italian opera amongst
London audiences. This did not
meet with universal approval; the
tradition of spoken drama, coupled
with a distrust of a foreign form and
language made opera controversial,
not least in the newly-expanding press.
The rare material in this edition
examines opera not simply as a genre
of performance, but as a wider topic
of comment and debate. It includes
a wide range of documents such as
biographical material on performers,
commentary by London audiences,
proposals for aesthetic and managerial
reforms, controversial reviews by high-
profle critics and introductions to the
opera texts themselves.

Coffee-houses provided a forum for
exchanging views and nurturing
public opinion across the social
spectrum. This is captured in the
satires reproduced here. Coffee-house
plays also celebrated the role of the
coffee-house in circulating gossip,
scandal, rumour and subversion. The
distinct properties of the coffee-house
were recognized in the period by
natural philosophers, antiquarians and
historians. Their debates on science
and historiography are included in this
edition. The coffee-room encouraged
scientifc culture and became a
precursor of the laboratory: science
became a public matter.

of natural philosophy was registered,

General Editors: Pet er J Kit s on and

The Romantic period witnessed the
beginning of sustained British imperial
expansion. It was also the period
when criticism of the slave trade was
at its most intense. Most of the frst
generation of British Romanticism
William Blake, Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, William Wordsworth,
Robert Southey, J ohn Thelwall
wrote against the slave trade. This
edition brings together a corpus of
work which refects the major issues
and theories concerning slavery and
the status of the slave.
A milestone in helping to resuscitate
... the attitudes which defned victim,
oppressor and abolitionist. Their
importance cannot be exaggerated.

The education and training of women
for their presumed role in life were
of constant interest in the eighteenth
century, which produced a spate of
advice books and manuals describing
the construction of the ideal woman.
The texts in this edition show a variety
of standpoints from the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries.
Female Education provides an
indispensable set of core readings which,
when supplemented by the relevant
work of Wollstonecraft, Hannah More
and Maria Edgeworth, will provide
students and scholars with everything
they need to begin exploring this crucial

Recent years have seen a signifcant
growth of interest in Ann Yearsleys
work. Outspoken on the subject of
the slave trade, she is often quoted in
the context of the early abolitionist
movement. As a labouring-class
poet her writing also forms part
of an under-represented area of
Romanticism now growing in
academic interest.
This set is the frst collected edition
of Ann Yearsleys works. Previously
unpublished poems are included
alongside more familiar verses, whilst
her play, Earl Goodwin, and novel,
The Royal Captives, are here reprinted
for the frst time since the eighteenth
century. Yearsleys letters are also
collected together for the frst time,
including some which were formerly
unknown.

In his own lifetime Defoe was much
more famous as a political satirist than
a novelist. Defoes poetry abounded
in savagely satirical sketches of
personalities, and lashed corruption
and hypocrisy. The importance he
placed on poetry as a vehicle for
serious political argument is seen
in the sheer scale of a major work,
the lengthy twelve-book Jure Divino
(1706), an elaborate and learned
attack on theories of the divine right
of monarchs. This set offers accurate
