This book opens up a new view of cultural history in the age of Enlightenment. By close study of the relations between a French author and a Swiss publisher, it gives an inside view of how French books were produced and distributed in the literary underground.
Robert Darnton, professor emeritus of Harvard University, has published widely on the history of books and eighteenth-century France. His most recent books are Pirating and Publishing in the Age of Enlightenment, The Revolutionary Temper: Paris 1748-1789, and The Writer’s Lot: Culture and Revolution in Eighteenth-Century France.
