Summary of Enlightenment Resources

[[Each of these resources would be of use to one researching the Enlightenment. Each provides details on the people, events, and ideas that characterized this period. A resource like "The Encyclopedists as a Group" would provide specific, exact information about a particular thinker or a particular event, whereas parts of the encyclopedia might provide more of an overview, "big picture" version of people and events. An image like the David painting and the website that provided it allows one the benefit of reading another critique of the work, while also giving the researcher the opportunity to look at the painting and draw their own conclusions. Combined, these sources provide a comprehensive look at this rich period in history, and offer both in-depth analyses, biographies, and straight-forward definitions.]]
