Book synopsis

The essays in this volume share a common concern with investigating Enlightenment categories of historical understanding and determining how these categories helped shape Enlightenment culture. The contributors address the question of how eighteenth-century writers make sense of the past-how they interpret it, give it meaning and form, and deploy it for their own practical, aesthetic, and ideological purposes. Contributors and contents: Frank Palmeri, Conjectural History and the Origins of Sociology Stuart Peterfreund, From the Forbidden to the Familiar: The Way of Natural Theology Leading up to and beyond the Long Eighteenth Century Tony C. Brown, The Barrows of History Shane Agin, Sex Education in the Enlightened Nation Suzanne R.
