By what channels did the French Enlightenment reach the eighteenth-century Irish reader, and what was its impact? What were the images of Ireland in current France? What did the philosophes like Montesquieu and Voltaire think of the country and its people? These are the questions a team of scholars attempts to answer in this volume. Part I explains who could read French; Part II examines the views of Ireland and the Irish; and Part III explores the transmission of ideas through the importation of French books and translations from a number of cosmopolitan centers.

Ireland and the French Enlightenment
This book is a collection of essays on the Enlightenment era of the 18th Century. Of particular interest is Chapter 2, which deals with "news networks" in 18th Century Paris. Newspapers as we know them didn't exist and anything of that character would in fact have been illegal. So how did people learn about what was going on? Darnton's history, pieced together relying on administrative and police records of the era, is fascinating. Every person working in the news business would benefit from this essay.
