This study explores the explosive history of volcanoes and volcanic thought in eighteenth-century Europe. The volcano emerges as a privileged 'tool for thinking' about continental tourism, new earth sciences, the sublime and picturesque in art, industrial and political revolution, conceptions of the nation-state, and early modern climate change. The volcano is clearly transnational; this research demonstrates how it is fundamentally transdisciplinary.
