The essays in this volume portray the debates concerning freedom of
speech in eighteenth-century France and Britain as well as in
Austria, Denmark, Russia, and Spain and its American territories.
Representing the views of both moderate and radical
eighteenth-century thinkers, these essays by eminent scholars
discover that twenty-fi rst-century controversies regarding the
extent of permissible speech have their origins in the eighteenth
century. The economic integration of Europe and its offshoots over
the past three centuries into a distinctive cultural product, "the
West," has given rise to a triumphant Enlightenment narrative of
universalism and tolerance that masks these divisions and the
disparate national contributions to freedom of speech and other
liberal rights.
