Description
The Global Eighteenth Century by Felicity Nussbaum brings together twenty-one leading scholars to explore the cultural significance of global connections during this pivotal era. Spanning from circa 1660 to 1830, this collection of essays examines the literal and metaphorical crossings of the globe, shedding light on global culture through maps, paintings, travel writing, and other topics. The contributors analyze the tension between homogenization at a global level and local knowledge and culture, examining examples of intermingling, indigenous knowledge reception, diverse encounters, and the real and imagined mappings of the world. Through careful analysis of texts, images, and artifacts, they articulate the truly global nature of relations among freshly juxtaposed regions, disciplines, and methodologies. This collection offers a crucial historical element to the emerging concept of the global, providing insight into our perception of cultural exchange during this time period.
