Debating Enlightenment Scholarship, Historiography and the Transmission of Books and Ideas
di Marco Barducci Durham University IMEMS Press - Boydell&Brewer , 2025 https://boydellandbrewer.com/book/debating-enlightenment-9781914967238/ A bold reappraisal of Enlightenment legacies this volume uncovers the fractured, global, and contested nature of modern Europe’s most influential intellectual transformation. This volume rethinks the Enlightenment as a dynamic espace de débat-a field of contested meanings shaped by transnational circulation, institutional conflict, and historiographical reinvention. Drawing on debates around the “Enlightenment project”, “radical” and “religious” Enlightenment, and the tensions between cosmopolitan ideals and national traditions, it engages with the works of Jonathan Israel, Dan Edelstein, and Jeffrey Burson, amongst others, to explore longue durée patterns of intellectual exchange and secularisation. Rich in case studies from Paris, London, Amsterdam, Leipzig, and beyond, the collection speaks directly to those navigating the plural legacies of Enlightenment historiography in an era increasingly shaped by digital tools, global frameworks, and postcolonial critique.
