Book Description
From despotic rulers in Europe to revolt and slavery in America to the first rumblings of the Industrial Revolution, the eighteenth century was a time of unrest and intellectual advancement amidst a climate of repression. This anthology covers the century with chapters on philosophers and writers, monarchs and wars, and the growth and struggle for independence of the thirteen British colonies in America.
