Making Ideas Visible in the Eighteenth Century
Edited by Jennifer Milam and Nicola Parsons
University of Delaware Press
This volume considers how ideas were made visible through the making of art and visual experience occasioned by reception during the long eighteenth century. Through a consideration of the material formation of concepts, this book explores questions that are implicated by the need to see ideas in painted, sculpted, illustrated, and designed forms. In doing so, it introduces new visual materials and novel conceptual models into traditional accounts of the intellectual history of the Enlightenment.

Carrying All before Her
Celebrity Pregnancy and the London Stage, 1689-1800
University of Delaware Press
Carrying All Before Her recovers the stories of six eighteenth-century celebrity actresses who performed during pregnancy, melding public and private, persona and person, domestic and professional labor and helping to shape wider social, medical, and political conversations about gender, sexuality, pregnancy, and motherhood. Their stories deepen our understanding of celebrity, repertory, and theatre’s connection to a wider social world, and challenge notions of women’s agency and power in and beyond the professional theatre.
