The exchange of ideas between nations during the Enlightenment was
greatly facilitated by cultural ventures, commercial enterprise and
scientific collaboration. But how were they exchanged? What were
the effects of these exchanges on the idea or artefact being
transferred? Focussing on contact between England, France and
Ireland, a team of specialists explores the translation,
appropriation and circulation of cultural products and scientific
ideas during the Enlightenment. Through analysis of literary and
artistic works, periodicals and official writings contributors
uncover: the key role played by literary translators and how they
adapted, naturalized and sometimes distorted plays and novels to
conform to new cultural norms; the effects of eighteenth-century
anglomania, and how this was manifested in French art; how the
vagaries of international politics and conflict affected both the
cultural products themselves and the modes of dissemination; how
religious censorship engendered new Irish Catholic and French
Huguenot diasporas, with their particular intellectual pursuits and
networks of exchange; the significance of newspapers and
periodicals in disseminating new knowledge and often radical
philosophical ideas. By exploring both broad areas of cultural
activity and precise examples of cultural transfer, contributors to
Intellectual journeys reveal the range and complexity of
intellectual exchange and its role in the formation of a truly
transnational Enlightenment.
