Enlightened Pleasures: Eighteenth-Century France and the New Epicureanism - The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History
Thomas M. Kavanagh
Novelists, artists, and philosophers of the eighteenth century understood pleasure as a virtue - a gift to be shared with one's companion, with a reader, or with the public. This book overturns the prevailing scholarly tradition that views eighteenth-century France primarily as the incubator of the Revolution.
