Description
Key Features
This book by Liverpool University Press uncovers the rich history of the eighteenth-century quest to find longitude at sea.
The text explores the cultural impact of science through an analysis of novels, plays, poems, and social satires.
Readers can examine how longitude was represented in visual media, including engravings, diagrams, and William Hogarth's prints.
This historical study moves beyond maritime history to look at the social anxieties and discussions found on paper in London.
Part of the Eighteenth Century Worlds series, this work provides a deep look at the intersection of science and culture.
