Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment

Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment is a monographic series which has been published since 1955.^[1] Originally edited by Theodore Besterman,^[2][3] the series now comprises more than 550 books - edited volumes and monographs, in either English or French - on diverse topics related to the Enlightenment or the eighteenth century. The current General Editor is Gregory S. Brown, who took up the post at the start of 2016.^[1]

Name

Previously the series was called Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century (SVEC). In 2013, the name was changed to reflect the publication's global and interdisciplinary scope, which includes the Age of Enlightenment in the long Eighteenth Century and growing scholarly move to see the Enlightenment as a movement with worldwide impact and implications.^[4][5] Currently it is published by the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford, with some volumes also attributed to the Institut et Musée Voltaire in Geneva.^[2]

Topics

The series publishes one book per month. Topics include history, literature and comparative studies, cultural studies, philosophy, the history of the book, theatre, arts and visual studies, and gender studies.^[6] Several of its books have won awards, such as the Society for the History of Natural History's Thackray Medal for Jean-Jacques Rousseau and botany: the salutary science (Alexandra Cook),^[7][8] and the Prix Marianne Roland Michel for The Profession of sculpture in the Paris 'Académie' (Tomas Macsotay).^[9]
