Intellectual Journeys
Author: Lise Andries
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781786947376
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
The exchange of ideas between nations during the Enlightenment was greatly facilitated by cultural ventures, commercial enterprise and scientific collaboration. But how were they exchanged? What were the effects of these exchanges on the idea or artefact being transferred?Focussing on contact between England, France and Ireland, a team of specialists explores the translation, appropriation and circulation of cultural products and scientific ideas during the Enlightenment. Through analysis of literary and artistic works, periodicals and official writings contributors uncover:the key role played by literary translators and how they adapted, naturalized and sometimes distorted plays and novels to conform to new cultural norms;the effects of eighteenth-century anglomania, and how this was manifested in French art;how the vagaries of international politics and conflict affected both the cultural products themselves and the modes of dissemination;how religious censorship engendered new Irish Catholic and French Huguenot diasporas, with their particular intellectual pursuits and networks of exchange;the significance of newspapers and periodicals in disseminating new knowledge and often radical philosophical ideas.By exploring both broad areas of cultural activity and precise examples of cultural transfer, contributors toIntellectual journeysreveal the range and complexity of intellectual exchange and its role in the formation of a truly transnational Enlightenment.

The Perilous Crown
Author: Munro Price
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 033053937X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Was it inevitable that France should become a republic? In this fascinating account of the period 1814-48, Munro Price attempts to answer this most difficult of questions. Using substantial unpublished research as he did in his celebrated The Fall of the French Monarchy, Price focuses on the amazing political machinations of Madame Adelaide, sister of King Louis Philippe. Though only mentioned rarely in other histories of the time, The French Revolutions shows how her intelligence and behind the scenes wrangling secured her brother the throne, thereby creating France's only long lasting experiment with a constitutional monarchy. Munro Price vividly brings the period alive with all its instability and political intrigue, while at the same time illuminating our understanding of a difficult and tumultuous time. The French Revolutions is an ambitious, exciting and masterful work of history that is sure to delight and inform for many years to come.
