Review title: Dull reading for nothing
Product review: The book gives an impressive number of names and titles of the actors in the XVIIIth century, but without any reference. Not a single quote is referenced an the reading is really dry, dull, simply enumerating political, economic and bibliographical facts.At the end of the book, the author presents some adversaries of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. He simply calls Joseph de Maistre "mentally ill" (p.264), and don't take any of these persons serious. By reading this book, you will pass some hard time for reading a book that doesn't help you to understand the Enlightenment, nor the context.Don't spill your money for this book. This work of Hampson hasn't any scientific value. I recommend all the works of Isaiah Berlin instead.
