But how did the works which were radical and critical of religion during this period come about? And how do they relate to the dominant 'moderate' Enlightenment? Martin Mulsow offers fresh and surprising answers to these questions by reconstructing the emergence and dissemination of some of the radical writings created between 1680 and 1720. The Hidden Origins of the German Enlightenment explores the little-known freethinkers, persecuted authors, and secretly circulating manuscripts of the era, applying an interdisciplinary perspective to the German Enlightenment. By engaging with these cross-regional, clandestine texts, a dense and highly original picture emerges of the German early Enlightenment, with its strong links with the experience of the rest of Europe. 650 0 Enlightenment |zGermany. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009125035 650 0 Underground literature |zEurope |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Philosophy, Modern |y17th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100961 650 0 Philosophy, Modern |y18th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100962 650 0 Philosophy, German. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100918 651 0 Europe |xIntellectual life. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045726 700 1 Midelfort, H.
