Inhaltsangabe
Arising out of a project intended to examine Thomas Jefferson's excursions in Paris, this text explores "out-of-the-way corners" of the 18th century focusing on the interrelated themes of "French-American connections, life in the Republic of Letters, modes of communication, and ways of thought peculiar to the French Enlightenment." Darnton (European history, Princeton U.) obliquely refers in his title to the almost ubiquitous prevalence of toothaches at the time, reflecting his belief that by focusing on the ways the period differed from ours, we can come to a greater understanding of its actualities.

George Washington's False Teeth: An Unconventional Guide to the Eighteenth Century

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardback. Zustand: Good. A master historian's excavations into the past unearth a world that is unexpected and compelling. George Washington was inaugurated as president in 1789 with one tooth in his mouth, a lower left bicuspid. The Father of His Country had sets of false teeth that were made of everything but wood, from elephant ivory and walrus tusk to the teeth of a fellow human. With characteristic learning and bracing insight, Robert Darnton shows us that the Enlightenment had false teeth alsothat it was not the Father of Our Modern World, responsible for all its advances and transgressions. In restoring the Enlightenment to human scale, Darnton locates its real aims, ambitions, and significance. So too with the French Revolution, another icon of the eighteenth century, approached here through the gossip, songs, and broadsides that formed the political nervous system of Paris in the Old Regime. Figures we think we knowVoltaire, Jefferson, Rousseau, Condorcet, even historians themselvesemerge afresh in Darnton's hands, their vitality, if not their teeth, intact. 17 b/w illustrations.
