From Queen Anne to Queen Victoria: Body & Mind

text by Lucyna Krawczyk-Żywko

This volume is the eighth in our series, but also, in a few ways, the first. E.g., it is the first one available in Open Access!

Here’s a fragment of the Foreword:

In the previous volume in this series, the editors – Grażyna Bystydzieńska and
Emma Harris – noted that

in a post-pandemic landscape, a different style of academic attitude towards the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries will perhaps inevitably take shape, entailing possible new
perspectives on disciplinarity and divisions between fields of study, between aesthetics
and politics, or between history and the present (“From the Editors” 9)

and all it takes to see to what extent they were right is to read the following pages.

Do. You may download the whole volume from the publisher’s website: www.wuw.pl/product-eng-20317-From-Queen-Anne-to-Queen-Victoria-Body-Mind-Volume-8-EBOOK.html
