The purveyors of the clandestine could be found in the Dutch Republic, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, and not least in Paris or London. Despite the heavy risks, including prison, the circulation of these manuscripts was a prosperous venture. After Ira Wade's pioneering contribution (1938), Clandestine Philosophy is the first work in English entirely focused on the philosophical clandestine manuscripts that preceded and accompanied the birth of the Enlightenment. Topics from philosophy, political and religious thought, and moral and sexual behaviour are addressed by contemporary authors working in both America and Europe. These manuscripts shed light on the birth of pornography and provide an important avenue for investigating philosophical, religious, political, and social critique." 410 0$aUCLA Clark Memorial Library series. 517 $aClandestine Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern, in literature 606 $aUnderground literature 606 $aManuscripts, European 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern, in literature. 615 0$aUnderground literature. 615 0$aManuscripts, European. 676 $a091 702 $aPaganini$b Gianni 702 $aJacob$b Margaret C. 702 $aLaursen$b John Christian 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476824803321 996 $aClandestine Philosophy$92903327 997 $aUNINA
