Book Description
Excerpt from The Abbe Prevost and English Literature Prevost's spelling and punctuation have. Not been modem ized. In certain cases, citations have been given in full which to some readers may seem unduly long. The Pour et Contre is not, however, readily accessible, and it seemed, on the whole, wise to give the more important passages in Prevost's own words rather than to leave the reader to trust to my own resumes of the author's thought.

Minerva's Message
Author: Martin S. Staum
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773566244
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.
