Buchbeschreibung Original softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. X, 376 p., ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Somewhat rubbed binding, ocassional pencil markings in text, otherwise very good and clean. / Etwas beriebener Einband, vereinzelt Bleistiftanstreichungen im Text, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - The current excitement over interdisciplinary approaches to a variety of fields and periods will be fueled by this reassessment of English history from 1649 to 1789. Bypassing traditional chronologies and concerns, editors Kevin Sharpe and Steven Zwicker frame new agendas for the study of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England. Because the customary periodization by dynasty and century obscures the aesthetic and cultural histories that were enacted between and even by the English revolutions and the French Revolution, these authors set about returning aesthetics to the center of politics. They focus on topics and moments that illuminate the connection between aesthetic issues of a public or private nature and political culture. Politics between the Puritan Revolution and the Romantic Revolution was a set of social and aesthetic practices, a narrative of representations, exchanges, and performances as much as it was a story of monarchies and ministries. Refiguring Revolutions breaks fertile ground for a new historiography and for better-defined interdisciplinary methods and theories. With texts by Toni Bowers, John Barrell, Gerald Izenberg, Edward Hundert, Harriet Guest, Mark Jenner, Roy Porter, Stephen Bending, Michael McKeon. - Kevin Sharpe is Professor of History at the University of Southampton, England. Author of The Personal Rule of Charles the First (1996), he coedited with Steven Zwicker the influential Politics of Discourse (California, 1987). Steven N. Zwicker, whose most recent book is Lines of Authority: Politics and English Literary Culture, 16491689 (1993), is Professor of English at Washington University, St. Louis.
