Prélude au siècle des Lumières en France
With the appearance of the final volume of the Siècle, containing the last part of the Index des auteurs, this mighty enterprise, ranging over four decades, is at last concluded. Professor Conlon had already completed a comprehensive Bibliography, Ouvrages français relatifs à Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1751–1799 (Geneva: Droz, 1981) — this appeared later than the Prélude — which, containing over a thousand items, might have been deemed a life's work …
The state of happiness? Ancient Sparta and the French Enlightenment
Voltaire Versus Shakespeare
Human nature, cultural diversity, and the French enlightenment
French Writers and their Society, 1715-1800
Money and the Establishment
The Chevalier des Grieux sums up most pertinently the inherent paradox in the Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut1 that gives it its special ambiguity. He has just told us once again how the whole world is as nothing beside Manon's presence and love: 'Je la tiens du moins, disais-je; elle m'aime, elle est à moi. Tiberge a beau dire, ce n'est pas là un fantôme de bonheur. Je verrais périr tout l'univers sans y prendre intérêt. Pou…
The Rise of Technology
When one looks at the eleven volumes of plates which accompany the seventeen volumes of text in the Encyclopédie, one is struck perhaps above all by two things: first, as with the Encyclopédie articles, by the great range and quantity (there are nearly three thousand plates in all),1 second, the technical accuracy and loving care for detail brought to this daunting task. The plates are mainly devoted to illustrating articles on the arts and craft…
Universal Education
Condorcet's strengths and weaknesses have been well summed up by the editors of his most famous work, the Esquisse d'un tableau historique (1794). They feel that he is neglected today largely because his direct, uncomplicated character offers little reward to the modern critic.1 An unfashionable man in the present Age of Ambiguity, he lacks those self-doubts and contradictions which we prefer to look for. Yet the vigour of a mind firmly possessed…
A Red Herring? Laclos (1741–1803)
At first sight Laclos's Les Liaisons dangereuses appears to have much to recommend it as a testimony of the years leading up to the French Revolution. When it appeared in March 1782 it clearly touched a popular chord, for 2000 copies were sold in under two months, there were several reprintings before the end of the year, and fifteen editions of the novel in all saw the light of day during the seven years remaining before the Revolution. The book…
The Development of Biological Science
'Entre Leibniz et Goethe qui l'écrasent, Diderot est peut-être au dix-huitième siècle notre seul génie encyclopédique.'1 The statement is provocative, as other names with solid claims to the title immediately spring to mind. Nonetheless, the range and flexibility of Diderot's interests are vast and constantly overflow from one traditional category into another. We have earlier had occasion to look at his dramatic theory; our concern now is with a…
