Representing Humanity in the Age of Enlightenment cover

The Enlightenment era saw European thinkers increasingly concerned with what it meant to be human. This collection of essays traces the concept of ‘humanity’ through revolutionary politics, feminist biography, portraiture, explorer narratives, libertine and Orientalist fiction, the philosophy of conversation and musicology.

'The manifold way "man" was invoked and put to work, by what description and techniques, is the constellate of the collection - it warrants a wide currency.' Aboriginal History
