An introduction to Spanish Baroque literature and culture, this text considers works by major Spanish novelists, dramatists, poets and painters. It covers issues such as honour and identity, the influence of the court, social and literary institutions, and the place of women in cultural life.

This introduction to the French Enlightenment corrects the view that the writers of the period were a mere stopover to modernity. It covers key exam literature, in particular Voltaire, Diderot, d'Alembert, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Rivarol, Sedaine, Palissot, theatre, gender issues and feminism.
