Eighteenth-century fiction and the reinvention of wonder
لتكبير النص لتصغير النص- كتاب
In this bold new account, the 18th century bears witness not to the world's disenchantment but rather to wonder's re-location from the supernatural realm to the empirical world, providing a re-evaluation not only of how we look back at the Enlightenment, but also of how we read today.
