This up-to-date introduction to the French Enlightenment corrects
the view that the writers of the period were a mere stopover to
modernity. It discusses current debates that A-level and first-year
students need to know today. Voltaire agonised over the fact that
his 'age of critique' followed Louis XIV's much more important 'age
of genius'.Church religion was dispensed with, but not religion
itself. Enlightenment was a fierce battle that lacked a
predetermined outcome. The book covers key exam literature, in
particular Voltaire, Diderot, d'Alembert, Rousseau, Montesquieu and
also Rivarol, Sedaine, Palissot, theatre, gender issues, and
feminism.
