Critical Enthusiasm tracks the intertwined histories of religious radicalism and economic transformation in the long eighteenth century. In its pages, Rosenberg situates the rhetoric of enthusiastic rapture in the context of the major institutional transformations of early modernity: the dispossession and plunder of the globe, the rise of finance, legal reform, and the administration of racialized labor.
