The Catholic Enlightenment: A Global Anthology presents readers
with accessible, translated selections from the writings of fifteen
major Catholic Enlightenment authors. These early modern authors
include women, priests, lay intellectuals, and bishops. Twelve of
these figures are being brought into English for the first time.
The purpose of the volume is to provide students, scholars, and
interested non-specialists with a single point of departure to
delve into the primary sources of the Catholic Enlightenment. This
anthology shows the geographical and intellectual diversity of the
Catholic Enlightenment, while also demonstrating significant
threads of commonality in intellectual orientation. One strength of
this volume is the geographical spread of the figures considered.
Included are Catholic thinkers from England, the United States,
Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, France, Portugal, and the Italian
and German-speaking lands. Another strength of this volume is the
breadth of subject matter treated - it features pastoral letters,
mystical tracts, pedagogical treatises, political manifestos, and
theological works. These texts elucidate Catholic Enlightenment
views on topics such as the history of women's education, liturgy
and devotions, and the relationship between church and state. The
co-editors, Ulrich Lehner and Shaun Blanchard, have assembled a
team of international scholars from Europe and the Americas for
this exciting project. Lehner is one of the central scholars behind
the renewed interest in the Catholic Enlightenment. He co-edits the
volume, contributes to the introduction, and introduces and
translates two significant German-speaking figures. Shaun
Blanchard, who has recently published a monograph on radical
Catholic Enlightenment figures, also co-edits, contributes
selections from two English-speaking figures and has completed the
first English translation of a section of Lodovico Muratori's
landmark On the Regulated Devotion of a Christian since 1789.
