Enlightenment, Modernity and Postmodernism on the Web
NOTE: I do not pretend that this is a comprehensive search. Some
of the links may not work due to the usual vagaries of the web, but most of them
did as of a few months ago. Some sites are much better than others, so do
consult me if you have any doubts. The best sites provide bibliographies and
those are worth looking at and following through in your own research. It is a
huge and overwhelming amount of material and you are most certainly not expected
to read it all. As you do your research use the links to see what is most useful
for you. The purpose of this was to allow you to better gather information and
process it rather than having to spend all the time I spent just putting these
materials together.
Enlightenment Materials:
The European Enlightenment:
http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ENLIGHT/ENLIGHT.HTM
From the contents section:
Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enlightenment
An extensive, hyptertext discussion of the Enlightenment and the role of the
Enlightenment in modern and postmodern thought. There are multiple links to
major figures, precursors, movements, etc.
Evansville History Site:
http://history.evansville.net/enlighte.html
Seems not to have been updated, but it has a grab bag of links to sites,
short articles of its own, links to resources (some of which don't work or are
out of date).
Table of Contents:
Site on the Scottish Enlightenment:
http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/scottish.htm
The site is a fairly extensive hypertext which includes links to primary
sources as well. Part of a very good history of economic thought site.

the Brothel of Modernism: Picasso and Joyce." (essay)--"My argument,
then, is that modernism was never a level playing field but was a gendered
movement, driven by the anxieties and ambivalences of male artists and
writers--anxieties and ambivalences that worked to bring the figure of the
prostitute to the center of the modernist stage."
