An article by Aaron Santesso and David Rosen intervenes in the current debates over \"critique\" by excavating a theory of ethical reading embedded in liberalism. In a similar mode, Jesslyn Whittell reads Christopher Smart's \u003ci\u003eJubilate Agno\u003c\/i\u003e as a \"stuplime\" forerunner to contemporary experimental poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidering communities that emerge around artworks, Aaron Gabriel Montalvo examines Joseph Highmore's\u003ci\u003e Pamela\u003c\/i\u003e paintings for the ways in which they inculcated new forms of moral spectatorship, while Stacey Jocoy shows how Robert Burns's ballad collections manipulated both tunes and lyrics in order to fashion a new vision of Scottish culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenee Bryzik finds that asymmetrical friendships in eighteenth-century novels helped unravel ideological prejudices shaped by settler colonialism. Nathan D. Brown presents a history of sweetness that goes beyond Caribbean plantations by reassessing the hopes placed upon maple sugar. Meanwhile, Dario Galvão argues that Buffon distinguished humans from animals by virtue of the former's capacity for domination, and Noel Chevalier focuses on the ways in which pirates served as monstrous stand-ins for commercial corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume of \u003ci\u003eSECC\u003c\/i\u003e also includes contributions from Li Qi Peh, Maximillian E. Novak, and Judith Stuchiner that explore Daniel Defoe's thinking about individualism, community, and religious instruction. The volume concludes with a cluster of short essays responding to the methodological challenges posed by Daniel O'Quinn's \u003ci\u003eEngaging the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Nathan D.
