Robert Darnton, in his lively study of mesmerism and its relation to eighteenth-century radical political thought and popular scientific notions, provides a useful contribution to the study of popular culture and the manner in which ideas are diffused down through various social levels. 606 $aEnlightenment 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a154.7/2 700 $aDarnton$b Robert$0162547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818296903321 996 $aMesmerism and the end of the enlightenment in France$9748195 997 $aUNINA
