In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

[712]p., plate; 2 Contributor Bio:  Phillips, Edward An architect and a city planner walked into a bar. The bartender said, "We don't serve your kind-only writers and birds here." The two old friends, both seventy something, said in unison, "We know how to write," and they sat down at the bar and began to collaborate on a detective novel. Art the architect lived in Dallas, Texas, and Ed the planner lived in Oakland, California, but no problem, they could exchange their jottings via e-mail. And so over the next five years, chapters multiplied and flew back and forth through cyberspace, until one day, from the end of the bar, an Owl said, "Enough already, let me tell what really happened." Besides age, long friendship, and longterm marriages, Arthur Rogers and Edward Phillips have something else in common: writing. But while Rogers has penned poetry, short stories, and plays, Phillips has crafted plan documents, as well as policy positions and regulations. Rogers and Phillips are currently writing the second Rex Nickels mystery.
