By what channels did the French Enlightenment reach the
eighteenth-century Irish reader, and what was its impact? What were
the images of Ireland current in France? What did philosophes like
Montesquieu and Voltaire think of the country and its people? These
are the questions which a team of scholars attempt to answer in
this volume. Part I explains who could read French and evaluates
the reception of French thought in areas like periodicals and
scientific exchange as well as looking at reactions to Montesquieu,
Voltaire and Rousseau. Part II examines the views of Ireland and
the Irish prevailing in Enlightenment France. Part III explores the
transmission of ideas through the importation of French books and
translations from a number of cosmopolitan centres, and the
thriving trade in Dublin reprints of the 'best-sellers' among these
titles. Appendix I catalogues contemporary Irish literary
periodicals and their French contents: Appendix II provides an
extensive list of French books and translations connected with the
Enlightenment and published in Ireland in the period 1700-1800.
These appendixes will provide a useful tool for further research.
