This project reexamines Enlightenment literature by focusing on middlebrow texts that were popular among readers, rather than just radical works. It aims to create a comprehensive database of these best-sellers to better understand their impact on societal change during the Enlightenment.
Intellectual history has long focused on a small number of authors and conceptual frameworks in studying societal change during the Enlightenment.
Historians of the book have similarly restricted their vision, tending to privilege radical, subversive or forbidden texts.
Yet ever since Daniel Mornet launched the history of the book approach a century ago, historians have recognized that it was authors who were not radical or subversive who produced the best-selling texts of the 18th century.
