Science, Enlightenment and Revolution brings together thirteen papers by renowned historian Dorinda Outram. Published between 1976 and 2019 and scattered in a variety of journals and collected volumes, these articles are published together here for the first time.
During her distinguished career, Outram has made significant contributions to the history of science, to the history and historiography of the Enlightenment, to gender history, to the history of geographical exploration, and to the historical uses of language. This volume also includes other writings by Outram, comprising an unpublished introduction in the form of an intellectual autobiography. Placing this together with her collected academic papers offers readers an overview of her development as an historian and a writer.
This book is important reading for scholars and students of early modern Europe, as well as those interested in the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and gender studies. (CS 1101).
Dorinda Outram is Franklin I. and Gladys W. Clark Chair of History Emerita at the University of Rochester, USA. She has taught in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Ireland and has held visiting positions in Paris, Göttingen and Berlin. She is the author of many works, including most recently Four Fools in the Age of Reason: Laughter, Cruelty and Power in Early Modern Germany (2019) and a fourth edition of The Enlightenment (2019).
