Notes on the Contributors
Index
JENNIFER MILAM is the Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic
Excellence) at the University of Newcastle in Callaghan, Australia.
Her books on rococo art include Historical Dictionary of Rococo
Art, Fragonard’s Playful Paintings, and an edited collection Women,
Art and the Politics of Identity in Eighteenth-Century
Europe.
NICOLA PARSONS is a senior lecturer in English at the
University of Sydney in Australia. She is the author
of Reading Gossip in Early Eighteenth-Century England.
"Making Ideas Visible is an important collection that will appeal
to scholars from a variety of disciplines. Those teaching
early-modern literature and history will find useful
representations of ideas that are often less accessible in printed
texts. Many of the book’s images will find a home in my
instructional materials, and the authors’ insightful
interpretations will inform our class discussions. Milam and
Parsons should be congratulated for selecting such keen essays,
each of which is handsomely produced and carefully documented."
