Review
"Johnsonians and scholars of the French Enlightenment have generally been very disjunct groups. Mark Temmer is therefore unusual in discovering a remarkable amount of common ground in what amounts to a succinct and readable introduction to 18th-century letters. If these three essays are largely summary in nature, the comparatist approach does have the virtue of casting old information in a new and pleasing light."
