Bringing the celebrated Clark Library Saturday seminars to a wider audience, Stuart and Georgian Moments gathers twelve crisp, field-defining essays that map the literary, musical, and cultural horizons of the long seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Edited by Earl Miner, the volume showcases a who’s-who of scholarship—James Sutherland on Restoration prose, Don Cameron Allen on Milton’s Latin, Bertrand H. Bronson on music and literature, Herbert Davis and Maximillian E. Novak on Swift and Defoe’s ironies, H. T. Swedenberg, Jr., and Charles E. Ward on the perennial challenges of editing and narrating Dryden, along with studies of Puritan culture (Leon Howard) and women’s epistolary practices (Irvin Ehrenpreis; Robert Halsband). Framed by Robert Vosper’s portrait of Lawrence Clark Powell and the Clark’s distinctive scholarly ecosystem, the collection captures the intellectual verve of UCLA’s 17th & 18th Centuries Studies Group and its interdisciplinary mandate.
For scholars and advanced students of early modern and Enlightenment studies, this volume offers rare range with unusual coherence: it moves deftly between poetics and print culture, rhetoric and performance, textual criticism and intellectual history—always grounded in primary materials and editorial practice. Whether you’re teaching Dryden and Milton, tracing the traffic between poetry and music, or rethinking gendered authorship and the public sphere, Stuart and Georgian Moments delivers authoritative essays that remain eminently teachable, citable, and expandable—an indispensable companion to research, syllabus-building, and the ongoing work of re-reading the Stuart and Georgian eras across disciplines.
