Vital Matters
«‘This is a collection that is breathtaking in its range… Deutsch and Terrall have compiled an admirably broad range of contributions on a topic of crucial importance for eighteenth-century studies, and this is a book that deserves to be read by students of its themes and period. In the final analysis, Vital Matters matters.’»
Andrew Wells, Modern Language Review vol 109:01:2014

«‘This study would fascinate anyone with even slightest interest in either the eighteenth century or the perennial issues of life and death that it explores…A superb collection… Vital Matters is a wonderful contribution to the literature of eighteenth century thought.’»
