In 1985, the ASECS Executive Board instituted a competition to encourage inquiry and exchange in promoting excellent undergraduate teaching of the eighteenth century.

For the competition, candidates prepared a proposal describing the course or course unit that they had developed, and discussing such issues as thematic approaches, modes of analysis, and what made the course innovative: whether it proposed new areas of inquiry, new techniques, new teaching strategies or new technologies.

Initially, all candidates gave presentations at the Annual Meeting and three winners were selected immediately. In 1987, the competition shifted to two stages: applications were reviewed by a committee consisting of the previous competition winners and a member of the Executive Board; six semi-finalists were invited to present at the ASECS Annual Meeting; and up to three finalists were chosen by the committee.  

After 2002, three winners were selected based on their written proposals and then invited to give presentations on a panel at the Annual Meeting. Finally, the competition was renamed the Innovative Course Design competition.

Winners of the competition receive $500 teaching development grants. The awards are funded by the Shirley Bill Endowed Fund, which honors outstanding teachers of eighteenth-century studies.

A principal goal of the Innovative Course Design competition is to make successful pedagogy available to ASECS members and other teachers of eighteenth-century studies. Winners were required to submit a written version of their presentation, along with supplementary materials, for publication, and through 2001, these essays were published by ASECS in a biannual booklet entitled Teaching the Eighteenth Century, which was distributed to members.

Unfortunately, a planned shift to online publication did not take place. Thus, while the competition has continued and ASECS continued to honor members for their innovative pedagogy, only with members who attended the presentations at the Annual Meeting learned about the exciting pedagogy being practiced by their peers.

This situation is now being remedied. Papers authored by competition winners are being published to the new ASECS Teaching the Eighteenth-Century website, beginning with the winners of the 2020 Innovative Course Design competition. A keyword system is being developed to facilitate searching, and thanks to web-based format, winners will be able to share a wider diversity of supplemental and illustrative materials. Post-scripts updating or otherwise reflecting on changes made to their courses since creating the course are also invited.

The material published on this website may be reproduced without charge for teaching purposes, provided due credit is given.

I created this video to help students tell the difference between good and bad editions for pre-1900 literature. I decided to do it after seeing an increasing number of students buying those print-on-demand editions that Amazon now puts at the top of their search results. Such editions are copy-pasted from Project Gutenberg and printed without revisions or any editorial apparatus. If you’ve had students show up with those versions, something like this might be helpful. – Roger Maoili, Department of English, University of Florida

• Greta LaFleur, The Natural History of Sexuality in Early America, Johns Hopkins, 2018.

“Greta LaFleur sets out a bold, provocative intellectual and ethical project: how to write the history of sex before sexuality, taking the eighteenth-century British colonial world as her focus. Tracing the logic of sex and race found in natural history through a surprising archive, this promises to be a landmark book in early American studies and the history of sexuality.”
– Brian Connolly, University of South Florida

​• Susan Lanser, The Sexuality of History: Modernity and the Sapphic, 1565-1830, University of Chicago Press, 2014.

“Shifting the focus from studying the history of lesbians to studying history through lesbians, Lanser argues that sapphism provides ‘a testing ground for modernity’s limit points.’ This bold thesis, stunning in its originality and import, would seem exceptionally difficult to prove. Yet, Lanser succeeds brilliantly.”
– Valerie Traub, University of Michigan

• George Haggerty, Queer Friendship: Male Intimacy in the English Literary Tradition, Cambridge, 2018.

“The author makes substantive inquiry into the fluidity of male-male relations as depicted in such canonical novels as Tristram Shandy, Jacob’s Room, and Great Expectations, bringing to the fore the nature and worth of male friendship, its tether to shifting socioeconomic concerns throughout English history, its commentary on male sexuality, and its influence on readers’ interpretation of said texts.” 
– J. Neal, Governors State University, Illinois

• Fiona Brideoake, The Ladies of Llangollen: Desire, Indeterminacy, and the Legacies of Criticism, Bucknell, 2017.

“I cannot imagine a more informed or more exhilarating account of the Ladies of Langollen. This will be a book that is treasured by students and scholars as well as anyone interested in the history of ‘romantic friendship’ between women.”  
– George E. Haggerty, University of California, Riverside

• Paul Kelleher, Making Love: Sentiment and Sexuality in Eighteenth-Century British Literature, Bucknell, 2015.

Making Love breaks new conceptual ground. Locating sexuality within a broad matrix of discursive fields, and tracing the underpinnings of a new conjugality to the discourses of sympathy and sociability, Kelleher shows how marriage became, in the eighteenth century and especially for men, the foundation for the public good. Making Love offers a powerful, shapeshifting companion to classic studies of domesticity, gender, and sensibility.” 
– Susan S. Lanser, Brandeis University

• Jason Farr, Novel Bodies: Disability and Sexuality in Eighteenth-Century British Literature, Bucknell, 2019.

“A rigorously argued and elegantly written account of how eighteenth-century fiction represented the interrelations of sexuality and disability. As Farr persuasively demonstrates, within the pages of both canonical and noncanonical works, queer disability emerges as a narrative force that troubles our understanding of what it means to be ‘normal’ and ‘able-bodied.’”
– Paul Kelleher, Emory University

• Declan Kavanagh, Effeminate Years: Literature, Politics, and Aesthetics in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Britain, Bucknell, 2017.

“Effeminate Years explores how ideal versions of masculinity become imbricated in idealised versions of nationality and ethnicity. Specifically, this book reveals how discourses of effeminacy and idealised masculinity structure the formation of English, Irish and Scots ethnic identities in the years when the project of the British Empire was emerging from infancy. The mid’ years of the Eighteenth Century saw the final defeat of Gaelic Jacobite hopes and the consolidation of an ascendant English Protestant nationalism which segued into British colonialism. Effeminate Years provides a remarkably comprehensive, deft and very entertaining account of the culture wars of these important years to demonstrate how the cultural productions of the era manifest anxiety, opportunism and counter-strategy about what kind of man should and would lead the development of Britain and expansion of empire.” 
– Katherine O’Donnell, University College Dublin

• Lisa Moore, Sister Arts: The Erotics of Lesbian Landscapes, Minnesota, 2011.

“As its lyrical title suggests, Sister Arts, Lisa Moore’s loving account of the unusual and haunting works produced by her four subjects-elegiac friendship poems, picturesque landscape designs, leaf collages and scrapbooks, collections of flowers, shells, and butterflies-at once illuminates and charms, deepening our understanding both of female-female intimacy and the elegantly subversive means women in past centuries found to express such devotion.” 
–Terry Castle, Stanford University

• Jen Manion, Female Husbands: A Trans History, Cambridge, 2020.

“Jen Manion offers a spectacular historical survey of people assigned female at birth who went on to live as men and marry women. In doing so, they demonstrate that contemporary attention to trans issues is just the tip of a vast, submerged legacy of gender variance, traversing both sides of the English-speaking transatlantic world, that stretches back hundreds of years.” 
– Susan Stryker, Yale University

• Heteronormativity and Eighteenth-Century Culture, ed. Ana de Freitas Boe and Abby Coykendall, Routledge, 2015.

“‘The eighteenth-century culture that forged modern heteronormativity,’ writes Susan Lanser in the first chapter, ‘also planted seeds of its unmaking that are still flourishing today'” The present-day potential to unmake heteronormativity – to envision and assert queerness in the present – relies on an unblinkered, unbiased estimation of the past. Boe and Coykendall’s collection performs that important work.”
– Kevin Bourque, Elon University

Studies of Racism and African Identity in ASECS Publications

Gathered here are citations for articles published in Eighteenth-Century Studies and Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture that examine racism, the concept of race, and African identity under strained race relations. From an essay on Immanuel Kant, who established the first scientific definition for race, to a study of Phyllis Wheatley, who became the first published African-American poet and a strong supporter of the American Revolution, these works make clear that the eighteenth century’s ideas of race and racism reverberate into the present day. While we are currently amid the largest civil rights movement in history, I believe it is important that we look to the past and see how far we have come in our progress and ideals, and also how little has changed in some regards. I hope that anyone who picks up one of these pieces enjoys reading them as much as I did.
