Reviews

A striking achievement. Curran's commendably exhaustive delving into the STN's superb business archives and his use of digital humanities methodologies to form and to test hypotheses adds a renewed level of relevance to key questions about the European Enlightenment and the role of the STN within it. * Colin Jones, Professor of History, Queen Mary University of London, UK * For those with an interest in the history of the 18th-century book trade and the dissemination of knowledge in Enlightenment Europe, this is a work of major importance. Curran knows the rich archives of Neufchatel as well as anyone, and he communicates his important and provocative findings with liveliness and grace. * Darrin M. McMahon, Mary Brinsmead Wheelock Professor, Dartmouth College, USA *
