In this masterful work, listeners will encounter the English ideas that inspired the Enlightenment in France-skepticism, scientific experiment, constitutional government, "natural rights," and individual liberty; the salons of Paris, where the wits and thinkers of all Europe gathered to exchange ideas; the philosophes-intellectuals, playwrights, and poets who consulted and consorted with kings and queens; Voltaire himself-the incarnation of the Enlightenment and a devotee of reason who still defended religious faith; Mme. Pompadour, patron of the philosophes, who seduced King Louis XV and through him influenced French policy; the Augustan Age in English literature- Alexander Pope's poetry, Jonathan Swift's satires, and the novels of Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding; and the growing parasitism of the aristocracy and rising power of the commercial class. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Voltaire,|d1694-1778. 650 0 Enlightenment|zEurope. 651 0 Europe|xHistory|y18th century. 651 0 Europe|xCivilization|y18th century. 700 1 Gardner, Grover,|enarrator. 700 1 Durant, Ariel,|eauthor. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Durant, Will.|tStory of Civilization.|sSpoken word ;|vbk. 9 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11354304?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781504600354_180.jpeg
