Robert Darnton - 18th Century Cultural History & more (6 books) (Size: 101.8 MB)
Description ROBERT DARNTON (b. 1939) is an American cultural historian and academic librarian recognized as a leading expert on 18th-century France. Among his many honors are a MacArthur Prize Fellowship, a National Book Critics Circle Award, election to the French Legion of Honor, the National Humanities Medal conferred by President Obama in February 2012, and the Del Duca World Prize in the Humanities awarded by the Institut de France in 2013. Throughout his career Darnton has concerned himself with the literary world of Enlightenment France, often focusing not on the philosophes but on writers outside the first rank and the material they produced. In the course of this work Darnton has developed an influential anthropological approach to history, has advanced novel interpretations of the French Revolution, and has helped to create the field known as "the history of the book." He also has a longstanding interest in electronic books, Web publishing, and other new media.
