A major history of how the Enlightenment transformed people's
everyday lives The Secular Enlightenment is a panoramic account of
the radical ways life began to change for ordinary people in the
age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book,
familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have
remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and
freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics,
pantheists, pornographers, and travelers. Margaret Jacob takes
readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Turin, and
Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas
central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of
daily life. A majestic work of intellectual and cultural history,
The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and
pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the
American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western
world for generations to come.
