The Enlightenment

In this monumental study of the Enlightenment in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and the United States from c. 1650 to the present, J. C. D. Clark shows that the Enlightenment was not a thing, but rather a historiographical concept.

Dreaming the New Woman

Based on seventy-five oral history interviews, Dreaming the New Woman uncovers the voices of Chinese women who attended Protestant missionary schools for girls in China in the early twentieth century.
