The author considers the connotations of the word 'set', outlines the collaborative project Voiceworks, and considers notions of equivalence and translation in combining words and music.

Lunacy in the Cosmopolis (1759)
This chapter investigates the global trajectories of empire at work in three novels from the war's annus mirabilis, 1759: Voltaire's Candide, Samuel Johnson's Rasselas and Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy.

Candide's search for the best of all possible worlds is an attempt to find resources for happiness i…
