大多数关于《百科全书》的研究,关注的通常它的思想内容,而时间则截止于初版28卷全部出齐的1772年,而对于其出版、流通的过程则研究甚少。这往往会给我们造成一种错觉,即,作为启蒙运动中最大、也是最重要的出版物,《百科全书》是自为的,它一经出版就立刻融入了启蒙运...
评分兜售一种观念,也时候会被送上火刑柱给烧死;有时候却成了桩大发其财的生意。美国史学家罗伯特•达恩顿的这部讲述《百科全书》出版史的著作——《启蒙运动的生意》,所要谈的无疑是后者。在达恩顿笔下,《百科全书》的故事,与其说是一种启蒙思想史,不如说是“一种商人的思...

A great book about an even greater book is a rare event in publishing. Darnton's history of the "Encyclopedie" is such an occasion. The author explores some fascinating territory in the French genre of "histoire du livre," and at the same time he tracks the diffusion of Enlightenment ideas. He is concerned with the form of the thought of the great philosophes as it materialized into books and with the way books were made and distributed in the business of publishing. This is cultural history on a broad scale, a history of the process of civilization. In tracing the publishing story of Diderot's "Encyclopedie," Darnton uses new sources--the papers of eighteenth-century publishers--that allow him to respond firmly to a set of problems long vexing historians. He shows how the material basis of literature and the technology of its production affected the substance and diffusion of ideas. He fully explores the workings of the literary market place, including the roles of publishers, book dealers, traveling salesmen, and other intermediaries in cultural communication. How publishing functioned as a business, and how it fit into the political as well as the economic systems of prerevolutionary Europe are set forth. The making of books touched on this vast range of activities because books were products of artisanal labor, objects of economic exchange, vehicles of ideas, and elements in political and religious conflict. The ways ideas traveled in early modern Europe, the level of penetration of Enlightenment ideas in the society of the Old Regime, and the connections between the Enlightenment and the French Revolution are brilliantly treated by Darnton. In doing so he unearths a double paradox. It was the upper orders in society rather than the industrial bourgeoisie or the lower classes that first shook off archaic beliefs and took up Enlightenment ideas. And the state, which initially had suppressed those ideas, ultimately came to favor them. Yet at this high point in the diffusion and legitimation of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution erupted, destroying the social and political order in which the Enlightenment had flourished. Never again will the contours of the Enlightenment be drawn without reference to this work. Darnton has written an indispensable book for historians of modern Europe.
It is essentially a book of publishing history, not a book history. It focuses on the publisher, publishing, and diffusion of Encyclopedie between 1775 and 1800. I was surprised by (and envy) the abundant material (various account books, letters, etc) used by the author. An important book full of details. Better to know French when reading...
