cloth, dust jacket, xi, 339 pages) : illustrations, CONTENTS: 1. The setting: space expanded and filled anew --2. Time reinvented --3. Secular lives --4. Paris and the materialist alternative: the widow Stockdorff --5. The Scottish Enlightenment in Edinburgh --6. Berlin and Vienna --7. Naples and Milan --8. The 1790s. "Margaret Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Turin, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life."
