Book Synopsis Royal Censorship of Books in Eighteenth-century France by : Raymond Birn
Book excerpt: Rather than envision themselves as agents of state-sponsored repression, the royal book censors of eighteenth-century France wished, through their reports and decisions, to guide the literary traffic of the Enlightenment and expand public awareness of progressive thought.
