EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES • LITERARY HISTORY • ART & ARCHITECTURE
Eighteenth-Century Life, Volume 25, New Series No. 2, Spring 2001: Essays in Honor of Robert P. Maccubbin—The Interdisciplinary Approach, edited by Adam Potkay. Published for the College of William and Mary by Duke University Press.
This special scholarly issue will appeal to historians, literary scholars, art and architectural historians, professors, graduate students, research libraries, and collectors of eighteenth-century studies. The volume honors Robert P. Maccubbin and his more than two decades of editorial work by gathering essays that deliberately cross the traditional boundaries separating history, biography, literature, art, architecture, politics, and cultural studies.
Subjects include the lives and literary reputation of John Dryden; the Scriblerian Annus Mirabilis; David Hume’s “Supplement to Gulliver” and The History of England; fiction, history, biography, and the miraculous eighteenth century; Romantic-era British writers on America; Christopher Wren’s stylistic development; Silverfork fiction and geopolitics; and other interdisciplinary examinations of eighteenth-century culture. The text includes scholarly notes and black-and-white architectural illustrations.
The volume helps readers see the eighteenth century as a connected cultural world rather than a collection of isolated academic subjects. By placing literature beside architecture, biography beside history, and artistic style beside politics, these essays reveal how ideas move between disciplines and shape one another. That approach encourages a broader, more flexible understanding of the past while strengthening the reader’s ability to recognize relationships that a single-discipline study might overlook.
Original 2001 softcover issue. The yellow-orange wrappers show fading, edge and corner wear, light surface marks, and a small scuff on the rear cover. The binding remains secure, and the photographed interior pages appear clean, bright, and readable. Please examine all photographs for the most accurate representation of condition.
