Beschreibung:
Anna Plassart is a Junior Research Fellow in Modern History at Christ Church, Oxford.
This book recovers the Scottish Enlightenment's forgotten commentary on the French Revolution. It argues that this commentary is both a major intellectual discussion in its own right and essential to our understanding of how Enlightenment philosophy and the heritage of Adam Smith were reinterpreted for post-revolutionary Europe.
