The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) is an academic society for humanities research related to the "long" eighteenth century, from the later seventeenth through the early nineteenth centuries.[1] ASECS was established in 1969, and has been an affiliate of the American Historical Association (AHA) since 2000.[1] ASECS is an interdisciplinary society in the sense that its members come from a wide range of humanities disciplines, including history, literature, philosophy, art history, and musicology.[2] The society organizes an annual conference and sponsors two publications: the quarterly journal Eighteenth-Century Studies and the annual volume Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture.[1] It awards the Louis Gottschalk Prize and the James L. Clifford Article Prize.[3]
