Book Synopsis

In eighteenth-century Greek culture, Iosipos Moisiodax (c.1725-1800) was a controversial figure, whose daring pronouncements in favor of cultural change embroiled him in ideological conflicts and made him a target of persecution. The first intellectual in Southeastern Europe to voice the ideas of the Enlightenment in public and without qualificatio



Trade Review
"This study of one of the first Enlightenment intellectuals in the European periphery is itself a wonderfully enlightening union of biography on the one hand and social and intellectual history on the other. Kitromilides writes brilliantly about the actual experience of intellectual transmission: the high hopes with which the work begins, the fierce resistance it encounters, the human toll it exacts."—Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
