The contributors to volume 30 join with Enlightenment thinkers in pulling, pushing, and stretching the elastic boundaries of human experience. Essays on comical apocalypticism, the evolution of satire, and the Asian periphery of English literature open a volume that offers two special features on extreme aspects of a modernizing world. The first probes the undiscovered world of last wills and testaments, while the second explores the soaring world of eighteenth-century birds. As always, 1650–1850 culminates in a bevy of book reviews critiquing the latest scholarship on long-established specialties, unusual subjects, and broad reevaluations of the period.

Descriere
Exploratory and energetically analytical, 1650–1850 ranges over the expanse of long eighteenth-century culture. Welcoming research on all nations and language traditions, this annual escorts its readers into a truly global Enlightenment. Volume 30 ventures to the outer limits of Enlightenment experience. Essays on topics such as comical apocalypticism and England’s Asian periphery lead into one special feature unearthing the buried culture of wills and testaments and another special feature soaring into the bird-filled eighteenth-century skies. Capping it all off is a diverse bevy of robust book reviews.
