The author contends that anecdotes acted in Enlightenment writing as mediators between the incidents of human life and the laws of human nature, connecting the abstractions of philosophical reflection with lived experience. Successive chapters take a specific genre (the essay), a single writer (David Hume), a historical event (the Endeavour voyage), and a literary project (the Lyrical Ballads) as nets for collecting anecdotes. Each chapter is committed to the particularities of individual anecdotes and the specificities of the uses to which these anecdotes were put. However, the book also outlines a larger historical narrative in which the anecdote moves from a central place in the science of human nature to holding a particular place in poetry, even as the anecdote began to lose its currency in the emerging human sciences"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAnecdotes--History and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature--18th century--History and criticism 606 $aEnlightenment 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aEurope$xCivilization$y18th century 615 0$aAnecdotes--History and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature--18th century--History and criticism. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a809/.982 700 $aWood$b James Robert$01712619 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827500303321 996 $aAnecdotes of Enlightenment$94104931 997 $aUNINA
