Martin Mulsow’s seismic reinterpretation of the origins of the
Enlightenment in Germany won awards and renown in its original
German edition, and now H. C. Erik Midelfort's translation and
abridgement makes this sensational book available to
English-speaking readers. Scouring manuscript collections across
northern Europe, Mulsow studied the writings of countless hitherto
unknown radical jurists, theologians, historians, and dissident
students who pushed for the secularization of legal, political,
social, and religious knowledge. Often their works circulated in
manuscript, anonymously, or as clandestinely published books. In
Enlightenment Underground, Mulsow shows that even in the late
seventeenth century some thinkers in Germany ventured to express
extremely dangerous ideas, but did so as part of a secret
underground. This landmark book overturns stereotypical views of
the early Enlightenment movement in Germany as cautious,
conservative, and moderate, and replaces them with a new portrait
that reveals an early Enlightenment far more radical, unintended,
and puzzling than previously suspected.
