About this title

Synopsis

In this series of lectures, Stephens explores the political and social forces that gave rise to the phenomenon of enlightened despotism in 18th century Europe, with a particular focus on the major figures of the Enlightenment and the ways in which their ideas were put into practice by rulers such as Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great. This thought-provoking work offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a key period of European history.
