About
My dissertation in progress, Anecdote and Enlightenment, 1700-1800 argues that the anecdote became a vital intellectual tool in the British Enlightenment, playing a central role in the rethinking of human nature and human history over the long eighteenth century. Anecdote and Enlightenment gathers together a wide archive of texts, including philosophical treatises and popular journals, novels and anecdote collections, travel narratives and biographies in order to investigate how anecdotes helped reshape humanistic knowledge.
