The Writer's Lot: Culture and Revolution in Eighteenth-Century France

The Writer’s Lot explores the working lives of eighteenth-century French authors—celebrities and unknowns—at a time when their example, if not often their ideas, changed the course of history. Taking the measure of “literary France” as a whole, Robert Darnton offers rare insight into the social ferment of the Age of Revolution.
