Synopsis
In this fascinating new account of Old Regime Europe, T.C.W. Blanning explores the cultural revolution which transformed eighteenth-century Europe. During this period the court culture exemplified by Louis XIV's Versailles was pushed from the center to the margins by the emergence of a new kind of space - the public sphere. The author shows how many of the world's most important cultural institutions developed in this space: the periodical, the newspaper, the novel, the lending library, the coffee house, the voluntary association, the journalist, and the critic.

Review
"Witty, conversational in tone, the book is also encyclopedic, ranging from Luther to Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks, while exploring fascinating tangents on dietary nationalism and British xenophobia....This innovative work is highly recommended for educated readers and scholars alike."--CHOICE
