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.
