Knowledge and Communication in the Enlightenment World

This series presents innovative studies focused on the history of knowledge transmission from c.1650 to c.1850. Books in the series address a wide range of artefacts and activities supporting texts, textual culture and textual networks and their role in the transfer of ideas across geographical, linguistic, social, ideological, and religious boundaries. In promoting explicitly global or transoceanic perspectives, the series explores how far western European periodisation of ‘the Age of Enlightenment’ maps onto processes of social, cultural, technological and intellectual change across the globe. The series publishes ground-breaking transnational studies of script, print, material culture, translation and communication networks that transform our understanding of the social history of knowledge in this critical period of change.

The editors welcome proposals and preliminary enquiries from prospective authors and editors for monographs and closely-curated edited collections. We are happy to consider both conventional and Open Access models of book publishing. Proposals or queries should be sent in the first instance to one of the editors, or to the publisher, at the addresses given below; all submissions will receive prompt and informed consideration.
