The Enlightenment Movement changed society forever, driving it forward through new and fresh ways of thinking about science, religion, history, politics, and culture. This dictionary offers a balanced overview and helps us to understand and appreciate the Enlightenment through its coverage of the basic assumptions and values that structured the movement; explanation of how these ideas were articulated; the paths of communication they followed; how its key ideas grew, developed and were refracted; and how new problems grew out of what were advanced as solutions to older problems. An engaging introductory essay along with hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries defines the significant persons, places, events, institutions, and literary works of the movement. A chronological table charts the progression of the movement by indicating the date, the main figures involved, the political or society events, and the science, arts, or letters that resulted. The comprehensive bibliography, with an introductory essay to the literature, categorized by subject complements this reference that will be valued by all seeking basic details about this important period.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Scarecrow's Enlightenment volume provides an impressive and useful overview of an age valued for its commitment to progress, science, reason, taste, and virtue, but the author does not pretend that the era always lived up to those ideals....wonderfully useful...Recommended. ― Choice Reviews

Given the author's depth of knowledge, engaging and lively writing style, and good feel for the time period...this is a recommended purchase for all libraries... ― Library Journal

This dictionary is highly recommended... ― American Reference Books Annual

The entries are clear, factual, reflect modern scholarship (and attitudes) and will explain matters to the user as well as just impart information. Students at various levels (but especially senior school and undergraduate) will find the content invaluable... ― Reference Reviews

...focuses on the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement that played a key role in the culture of Europe in the years between roughly 1687 and 1789. In addition to an extensively cross-referenced dictionary, the text includes a detailed introduction covering the paradigms of Enlightenment thought, the key values and assumptions of the period, its social dimensions, and how new problems grew from solutions to previous problems. The text also features a chronological chart of the progression of the movement, and a substantial bibliography, categorized by subject. ― Reference and Research Book News
