| Summary: | "The essays in this volume portray the public debates concerning freedom of speech in the eighteenth-century in France and Britain as well as Austria, Denmark, Russia, and Spain and its American territories. Representing the views of both moderate and radical eighteenth-century thinkers, these essays by eminent scholars suggest that twenty-first-century controversies regarding the extent of permissible speech have their origins in the eighteenth-century. The economic integration of Europe and its offshoots over the past three centuries into a distinctive cultural product, "the West," has given rise to a triumphalist Enlightenment narrative of universalism and tolerance that masks these divisions and the disparate national contributions to freedom of speech and other liberal rights"--Provided by publisher
