""The bibliography on Casanova is wide and boundless, but rarely can there be found such clear and illuminating work on him as David Thompson’s two-volume project Casanova’s Life & Times and Casanova & Enlightenment. Anyone who is seeking a general survey of the eighteenth century and on Casanova himself will find these books to be accessible, comprehensive and original. Thompson’s work can legitimately stand amongst the indispensable modern texts on Casanova."" -- Gianluca Simeoni, Casanovan scholar, and member of the editorial board of the academic journal Casanoviana

Author Information

DAVE THOMPSON is a retired teacher, a history writer and blogger with a degree and masters in History. He has long been intrigued by the controversial life of the adventurer and man of letters Giacomo Casanova and the continuing difficulty successive generations of scholars have found in getting to grips with him. Everyone who encounters him, specialist and non-specialist, is faced with the challenge of historical and moral complexity. The hope is that this two-volume project will provide not so much clear-cut answers to that challenge but a helpful framework within which to consider it.
