Before the Enlightenment, and before the imperialism of the later
eighteenth century, how did European readers find out about the
varied cultures of Asia? Orientalism in Louis XIV's France presents
a history of Oriental studies in seventeenth-century France,
revealing the prominence within the intellectual culture of the
period that was given to studies of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and
Chinese texts, as well as writings on Mughal India. The Orientalist
writers studied here produced books that would become sources used
throughout the eighteenth century. Nicholas Dew places these
scholars in their own context as members of the "republic of
letters" in the age of the scientific revolution and the early
Enlightenment.
