James E. McLellan : The Europe of academies. Eighteenth-century academies formed the institutional basis of the famous Republic of Letters, and they provided a sensitive indicator of the reality of Enlightenment Europe. Tapping a developed historiography, this paper surveys factors drawing European institutions together and factors pulling them apart. Common historical roots, organizational forms, correspondence and membership networks, and collective projects did create a real European and world-wide system of academies. On the other hand, economic factors, nationalism, provincial/regional identities, and religious and language divisions served to fragment such unity as existed. The latter factors are seen as more useful in explaining the phenomena of the academies and the Republic of Letters
