Synopsis

Technological advances during the long eighteenth century brought exciting opportunities for intellectual exchange. Essays focus on Britain, Europe, European colonies in the Caribbean and North America, India and East Asia. They reassess Eurocentric interpretations of a republic of letters, a public sphere, an invention of the self and a reading revolution. Essays also challenge the extent to which European periodizations of 'the Enlightenment' map onto processes of change in other regions.
