Abstract: Robert Blair's The Grave (1743) is typically read as a "graveyard poem," in which depictions of death and decay are intended to compel readers before directing their thoughts to the afterlife. This article, by contrast, reads The Grave as a churchyard variation on the contemporary georgic mode to show how the poet's labor to instruct readers on the attainment of heaven grows out of soil, dirt, dust, and ashes—the base elements that compose an earth in flux and that provide, as metaphors for life, work, and death in the poem, a georgic counterweight to the soul's heavenward flight.

Rachael Givens Johnson
Abstract: In their quest to forge a national social imaginary or civic consciousness, Spanish Enlightenment reformers sought to redirect the loyalties and funds of Catholic citizens away from local religious confraternities and towards state projects of modernization. One key strategy involved deploying new registers of the religious concepts of "charity" and the "common good," making moral claims on the citizenry to render material assistance for the prosperity of their fellow citizens and the nation writ large. Catholics who resisted these efforts insisted on the embodied, relational foundations of these ideas (rooted in Thomistic thought) as well as the sanctity of the individual will.

Abstract: This essay interprets the literary means Benjamin Franklin used in establishing a novel style of diplomatic representation. This style dispensed with much, but not all, of the ritual of what was then regarded as the old, European diplomacy in which diplomatic actors performed the dual role of representation, being both representative and representational; that is, as both spokespeople for, and emblems of, their national cause. Through them one is able to detect the interweaving of existing diplomatic standards and protocols in a self-consciously New World vocation with its own demands for recognition from the imperial center.
