The Age of Reasons: Quixotism, Sentimentalism, and Political Economy in Eighteenth Century Britain
ISBN: 9780415179416 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text aims to revise the understanding of 18th-century British culture and its relation to the rational culture of present-day economics and social science.
