The latest groundbreaking work in eighteenth-century studies.The essays in Volume 54 of Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture demonstrate a renewed interest in the variety of ways in which emotions interact with artistic, cultural, literary, and scholarly conventions.The volume opens with three essays that linger on the affective experiences both occluded and afforded by genre. Chloe Summers Edmondson traces the posthumous reception of Madame de Sevigne's letters and finds that they established a style of "seeming sincerity." Robert Stearn follows by uncovering the relationships between household labor and emotional experiences in the diary of the Manchester wigmaker Edmund Harrold. And Joani Etskovitz examines how the slow narrative style of Charlotte Smith's writings for young people aimed to imbue adolescent girls with a spirit of curiosity that could forestall the perils of a hasty marriage.Robert W. Jones and Fauve Vandenberghe next take up the political and affective resonances of queer performance. For Jones, cross-dressed casting in a 1786 production of Richard Coeur de Lion constituted a sexualized means of opposition to the royalist politics of its French source; for Vandenberghe, the figure of the spinster in popular periodicals offered a mode of resistance to the genre's otherwise heteronormative impulses.Wendy Wassyng Roworth's Presidential Address, "Close Encounters and Stranger Things: Angelica's Kauffman's First Years in London," documents two critical years in the painter's career, paying particular attention to the scandal caused by her secret marriage to a man pretending to be a Swedish Count. Bronte Hebdon's essay uncovers the appeals to antiquity and the beau ideal that characterized civil uniform designs in Revolutionary France. Yan Che concludes this section with a careful reading of the small accumulations of money and recognition that fail to add up in Olaudah Equiano's Interesting Narrative.Allison Y. Gibeily initiates a trio of essays on empire in the long eighteenth century. Focusing on an anonymous travelogue included in Thomas Sprat's A History of the Royal Society of London, Gibeily thinks carefully about archival silences and the Indigenous control of knowledge. Sanjay Subrahmanyam's Clifford Lecture, "The Question of I'tisam ud-Din: An Indian Traveler in Eighteenth-Century Europe," recovers the writings and experiences of Shaikh I'tisam-ud-Din, one of the earliest South Asian authors to compose a first-person account of the West. Vincent Pham's essay concludes this section with a study of the imperial conflicts registered by a late eighteenth-century musical automaton depicting a tiger in the act of devouring a European.Nan Goodman's essay concludes the volume by suggesting that the principle of neutrality in early American domestic and foreign policy helped create forms of conspiratorial thinking that continue to vex and polarize us today.Contributors: Yan Che, Chloe Summers Edmondson, Joani Etskovitz, Allison Y.

A teenage boy's tough ride across an unforgiving country.In the year 1967, fifteen-year-old Robin Wallenco steals an antique pick-up truck and heads west from south Saskatchewan, driving on farmland and obscure roads to avoid police. Like Odysseus trying to return to his home, he encounters one mysterious situation after another: men on the run from police and their pasts, hippies trying to create a utopia, farmers switching their crop to marijuana, a raging fire in the Rockies. What he passes through is a microcosm of a massively changing society -- a rural culture that, though eroding, hangs on to values of kindness and endurance, and one in which Robin must act far older than his years.When Robin's purpose is revealed, this story becomes at once heartbreaking and heartwarming, an indirect look at childhood trauma through the eyes of a wildly brave yet non-comprehending victim, a man-boy who is both heroic and vulnerable.A RARE MACHINES BOOK

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Science and Engineering: Fundamentals, Materials, and Technologies is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of solid oxide fuel cells. In addition to systematically reviewing the science and technologies of solid oxide fuel cells, the book provides numerical simulations, engineering applications and other important guidance on the commercialization and engineering of solid oxide fuel cells. The opening chapters of the book systematically explain the fundamentals, key emerging materials and technologies of solid oxide fuel cells, including surface chemistry and segregation, and oxygen reduction and fuel (such as hydrogen) oxidation reactions.It then examines the latest developments of cathode and anode materials as well as the robust nanostructured electrodes fabricated by innovative approaches such as exsolution for efficient and durable solid oxide fuel cells. The development of solid oxide fuel cells stacks and systems are also explained within the context of practical application. Finally, the book critically evaluates the development and fundamental issues of reversible solid oxide cells, as a promising technology for energy storage and regeneration. Throughout the book, there is a focus on increasing the theoretical and practical efficiency of solid oxide fuel cells, such as by activity/stability towards high power densities and increasing device lifetimes for commercialization.
