Hemispheres and Stratospheres offers eight essays that address the art, literature, science, and politics of distance during the long eighteenth century. This volume celebrates the intercontinental expansiveness of Enlightenment distance culture—a culture that continues to encourage modern pursuits such as space travel, tourism, telecommunication, multiculturalism, and international research collaboration.

Gathering essays by some of the most distinguished scholars in eighteenth-century studies, A Clubbable Man takes as its theme textual and social group formations, while simultaneously honoring the achievements of Greg Clingham. Rounding out the collection are tributes from former students and colleagues, including original poetry.
