A specialist in eighteenth-century literature and culture, his published and forthcoming essays (ELH, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation) focus on intersections—between law and literature as well as that between English-language literature and the history of the Atlantic world. He is currently completing a monograph on the cultural foundations of legal thought and practice in the eighteenth-century Anglo-Atlantic. With Geoffrey Sill (Rutgers-Camden), he is co-editor of Daniel Defoe’s The History and Remarkable Life of the Truly Honourable Col. Jacques, Commonly Called Col. Jack, which is forthcoming from Broadview Press. Dr. Cervantes grew up in New York City and earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2009. Nora Gilbert, Book Review Editor
