Enlightenment of Thomas Beddoes - Levere, Trevor (University of Toronto, Canada) a Stewart, Larry (University of Saskatchewan, Canada) a Torrens, Hugh (Keele University, UK) a Wachelder, Joseph (Maastricht University, the Netherlands)

As the authors of this book note, Thomas Beddoes (1760-1808) lived in 'decidedly interesting times' in which established orders in politics and science were challenged by revolutionary new ideas. Enthusiastically participating in the heady atmosphere of Enlightenment debate, Beddoes career suffered from his radical views on politics and science.
