Description

The terrain of "Eighteenth Century Worlds" is the long 18th century (1660 to 1830), its literature, music and art, society and culture. The list is an informal seminar, a "locus amoenus" in cyberspace.

Current Picture: Louis-Leopold Boilly (1761-1845), Painter in Her Studio (1796)

Current reading: Mesdames Campan and Roland; Devoney Looser's British Women Writers and Old Age, 1750-1850; Crabbe's tales; Caroline Moorehead, Dancing to the Precipice, The life of Lucie Dillon de la Tour du Pin; Christine Pevitt Algrant, Madame de Pompadour; Annette Gordon-Reed, The Hemingses of Monticello

Upcoming in November: either David Nokes's biography of Samuel Johnson.

Future hopes: plays by women: Aphra Behn, Catherine Trottter, Susannah Centlivre, Fanny Burney, Hannah Cowley, Elizabeth Inchbald; alternative: a season of a favorite author: Behn, Gay and Goldsmith. Iris Origo's Life of Leopardi
