"Science, Enlightenment and Revolution brings together thirteen papers by renowned
historian Dorinda Outram. Published between 1976 and 2019, and scattered in a variety
of journals and collected volumes, these articles are published together here for
the first time. During her distinguished career, Outram has made significant contributions
to the history of science, the history and historiography of the Enlightenment, to
gender history, the history of geographical exploration, and the historical uses of
language. This volume also includes other writings by Outram, comprising an unpublished
introduction in the form of an intellectual autobiography. Placing this together with
her collected academic papers offers readers an overview of her development as an
historian and a writer. This book is important reading for scholars and students of
early modern Europe, as well as those interested in the Enlightenment, the French
Revolution, and gender studies"
