Reviews

This impressive collection of articles explores Diderot's pivotal thought in close readings and broader perspectives, in canonical and lesser-known works, in contemporary and non-contemporary context. It does justice to his range of interests, from prose fiction, to theatre, philosophy, anthropology, theology and fine art. It is as welcoming to the reader studying Diderot for the first time as it is to the specialist and gives great insights into the combination of intellectual humility and bold, defiant thinking that is Diderot's. (Edward Nye, Lincoln College Oxford)
