Networks of Enlightenment

Digital Approaches to the Republic of Letters

Herausgeber: Edelstein, Dan; Edmondson, Chloe

Beschreibung

This volume presents a series of case studies of networks in the Republic of Letters. These studies examine correspondence, social, and knowledge networks throughout eighteenth-century Europe, from Russia to Italy and England, with particular focus on France. Drawing on digital methods and Social Network Analysis (SNA), contributors to this volume pioneer new historically driven methods for thinking about networks in early-modern societies.
