"The riches of this Miscellany (and what could be a more appropriate genre for eighteenth-century specialists to contrive together?) speak for themselves: a dozen disciplines dance in pairs or singly to offer new insights into the texts and contexts of eighteenth-century culture in America, Britain, and the European continent. Together they also shed light on some of the ideas that captured our society's collective imagination in 1995-96; in the order that they occur, pastoralism, letters in/and paintings, Augustanism, the aesthetic, hysteria, female alienation, German Enlightenment, libertinism, corporeal limitations, the limits of expression, knowledge, charity, the moral, wisdom, Gothicism. Since SECC readers selected these 16 essays from nearly 100 submissions to the annual last year, it is also fair to say that they also represent some of the best conference papers heard at regional and the national meetings during that time." -- from the Editor's Note
