The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad: The Russells of Braidshaw in Aleppo and on the Coast of Coromandel
Autor Janet Starkeyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mar 2018
By examining a wide range of modern interpretations, Starkey argues that the Scottish Enlightenment was not just a philosophical discourse but a multi-faceted cultural revolution that owed its vibrancy to ties of kinship, and to strong commercial and intellectual links with Europe and further abroad.

Recenzii
"The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad provides a scholarly, remarkably wideranging and thorough guide to the intellectual ferment of the eighteenth century and to the achievements of Alexander and Patrick Russell as physicians, natural historians, orientalists, collectors of Arabic manuscripts and recorders of scientific and social phenomena."Robert Irwin in Times Literary Supplement 26 April 2019."I learned a great deal about this intriguing family and hope to read at least one if not both editions of The Natural History of Aleppo at some point. The book also made me think more broadly about the Scottish Enlightenment beyond the mayor players - the Hutchesons, Humes, Smiths and so on..."Arby Ted Siraki in The Newsletter of the Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society, Spring 2019.
