'Enlightenment' is a universal concept, but its meaning is most
clearly revealed by seeing how it was engaged with, reconfigured or
rejected, on a local level. Peripheries of the Enlightenment seeks
to rethink the 'centre/periphery' model, and to consider the
Enlightenment as a more widely spread movement with national,
regional and local varieties, focusing on activity as much as
ideas. The debate is introduced by two chapters which explore the
notion of periphery from vantage points at the very heart of
'enlightened' Europe: Ferney and Geneva. Through thirteen ensuing
chapters, the interaction between 'Enlightenment' and 'periphery'
is explored in a variety of spatial and temporal contexts ranging
from Mexico to Russia. Drawing on urban and provincial as well as
national case studies, contributors argue that we can learn at
least as much about the Enlightenment from commentators at the
geographical and cultural borders of the 'enlightened' world as
from its most radical theorists in its early epicentres. Crossing
the boundaries between histories of literature, religion, science
and political and economic thought, Peripheries of the
Enlightenment is not only international in its outlook but also
interdisciplinary in its scope, and offers readers a new and more
global vision of the Enlightenment.
