Understanding the French Enlightenment from the Unusual Perspective of Julie de Lespinasse
$10.18
This volume in a series of world history case studies explores the life and relationships of Julie de Lespinasse, a thirty-four-year old woman who broke with convention and opened her own salon in Paris in 1764. What she created was a place where both established and nascent intellectuals were free to express themselves candidly. The novelty of that atmosphere regularly allowed Lespinasse to attract the leading figures of the Enlightenment to her salon, including d'Alembert, Diderot, Hume, and Rousseau. What emerges from these interactions and Lespinasse's biography is a new perspective on the critical transition from Europe's Age of Reason to the Age of Romanticism. This book is a volume in the Understanding World History Through Biography series.
