Abstract

The era of the Enlightenment generally sparks thoughts of such philosophical thinkers as Voltaire, Lessing, Hume or Rousseau. The collected volume by Elke Pilz offers insight into the lives of prominent women at the time and thus expands the spectrum of the dazzling personalities populating Weimar Classicism, Romanticism, and the budding German salon culture.
