Calvet's Web: Enlightenment and the Republic of Letters in Eighteenth-Century France
Brockliss, L. W. B. (, Reader in Modern History, Magdalen College, Oxford)
By using a correspondence network, this study assembles a picture of the French Republic of Letters in an era of rapid change. It shows how the world of scholarship relates to the movement historians call the Enlightenment and how it is torn apart, then reconstructed, in the social and political turmoil of the French Revolution.
