Hemispheres and Stratospheres offers eight essays that address the art, literature, science, and politics of distance during the long eighteenth century. This volume celebrates the intercontinental expansiveness of Enlightenment distance culture--a culture that continues to encourage modern pursuits such as space travel, tourism, telecommunication, multiculturalism, and international research collaboration.
