The Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies (JECS) acts as a meeting-place for the many academic disciplines that make up a period study: among others History, Literature, Science, Economics, Fine Art, Music, Religion, Geography and Popular Culture. Special notice is taken of research that explores links between the disciplines, and which helps to develop cross-disciplinary fields of enquiry. Significant and original research taking any methodological approach – from the heavily historicised and data-driven to the theoretically-informed – is all equally valued.This journal publishes various academic articles related to the 18th century, covering fields such as literature, science, history, art, music, etc. Through its extensive thematic coverage and strict academic standards, it is committed to promoting in-depth and innovative cultural research in the 18th century.
