    This essay explores Wollstonecraft’s experimental first novel, Mary: A Fiction (1788) in the context of Dissenting preoccupation with prejudice. It shows how Wollstonecraft shared the Dissenters’ analysis that prejudice was the source of political and social oppression, and how she extended that insight into her account of the situation of women.

  • Narrating Resuscitation

    Catherine PackhamARTICLELiterature and medicine2019

    This paper considers the relationship between the practice of resuscitation in mid- to late eighteenth-century Britain, and vitalist physiology and medicine. It explores how the mix of mystery and fact presented in the scene of reanimation, and manifested in the resuscitated body as the site of such a compelling conjunction, is negotiated in contemporary vitalist theories of life and theoretical reflections on natural philosophical method. In thi…

  • The Physiology of Political Economy

    Catherine PackhamARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas2002

    The Scottish Enlightenment has been described as uniting a concern with the origins and foundations of knowledge with a preoccupation with the useful application of knowledge in schemes of practical improvement. 1 Adam Smith's Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, which combines a theoretical account of political economy with specific proposals on politico-economic matters, might seem to exemplify such a characterization. F…
