Transforming the Republic of Letters – Pierre–Daniel Huet and European Intellectual Life, 1650–1720: Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe
Autor April Shelforden Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 aug 2007
Transforming the Republic of Letters is a cultural and intellectual history that chronicles this transition to "modernity" from the perspective of the internationally renowned scholar Pierre-Daniel Huet (1630-1721). Under Shelford's direction, Huet guides us into the intensely social intellectual worldof salons, scientific academies, and literary academies, while his articulate critiques illumine a combative world of Cartesians versus anti-Cartesians, ancients versus moderns, Jesuits versus Jansenists, and salonni res versus humanist scholars. Transforming the Republic of Letters raises questions of critical importance in Huet's era, and our own, about defining, sharing, and controlling access to knowledge.
April G. Shelford is Assistant Professor in the History Department at American University, Washington, D.C.
