Summary:

This book shows that the Enlightenment was many before it became one: The French Revolution reinvented the Enlightenment as a secular-democratic project of modernity and thereby obliterated its eighteenth-century variety. By recovering the rival strands of Enlightenment at play in Habsburg Central Europe and the Empire they produced, Fillafer offers a fresh reading of both.
