Enlightened Networking: Import and Export of Enlightenment in 18th-Century Denmark

Using Denmark as an example, contributors examine how the Enlightenment affected the intelligentsia who lived far from the salons of Paris. Scholars describe how two Danish "Candide novels" compare to the original, how a mix of ironic and realistic writing figures in Danish issues of The Spectator, how publications of the remarkable Flora Danica appeared over 122 years, and why a Moravian missionary to Greenland came to understand that art freed man from original sin. The volume closes with an examination of resources for more research on the eighteenth century in Denmark. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
