Produktbeschreibung
A reading of the periodicals of Eighteenth-century England offers us a fascinating insight into the way the literate upper and upper-middle classes thought about themselves, press freedom and tolerance, social class and revolution, their nation and its relations with others, science, religion and morality, gender and the natural world.
