Enlightenment and Catholicism in Europe: A Transnational History

Back Cover

“An undoubted landmark in Enlightenment studies, this is certainly the best volume that we have in English on the ‘Catholic Enlightenment.’” Jonathan I. Israel | Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton “The nature of the interaction between established religion and Europe’s Enlightenment remains deeply problematical. This notably well-planned collection of studies of well-known and less familiar figures brings the Catholic Enlightenment squarely into focus. Nuanced, informative, and wide-ranging, it provides the best introduction currently available to a central topic in eighteenth-century European history.” Hamish Scott | University of Glasgow “This is a compelling collection on an important subject. Its transnational and biographical approach helps one to see eighteenth-century Catholicism and the Enlightenment itself in fresh and interesting ways.” Darrin M.
