Insects and the Enlightenment

Human-Arthropod Entanglement in the British Eighteenth Century

Description

What was the role of insects in defining the human during the British eighteenth century? Through close ecocritical readings of classics like Robinson Crusoe and Emma, this study investigates insects' simultaneous absence from novels and presence in museums, reconsidering the history of entomology as both science and art.
