Description:
British Literature and Technology, 1600-1830 examines the relationship between literature and technology in two directions: not only the impact of technology on Enlightenment British literature, but also the impact of literature on conceptions of, attitudes toward, and implementations of technology in the period.
Review Quotes: "By focusing exclusively on humanity's unruly tools, this book opens a compelling 'mosaic' view of technology that tiles together everything from the wiles of Jacobean stagecraft to the terza rima utopias of Romantic poets (10). . . . The essays gathered in British Literature and Technology, 1600-1830 will hold broad interest for . . . anyone--critic, teacher, student--seeking tools to comprehend human intervention in the world."-- "Eighteenth-Century Fiction"
