Almost unknown in the English-speaking world, these texts demonstrate that freedom of the press was an important issue in other parts of Europe in the early modern period, giving rise to articulate theories. Elie Luzac's Essay on Freedom of Expression (1749) defended freedom of the press for atheists on natural law and other grounds. Carl Friedrich Bahrdt's On Freedom of the Press and its Limits (1787) drew on natural law, religious rhetoric, and political journalism to make the case for understanding freedom of the press as a human right. Together, these texts show that the French and German traditions included their own intellectual resources for defending modern rights, before the American Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$v113. 606 $aFreedom of the press$zFrance 606 $aFreedom of the press$zGermany 615 0$aFreedom of the press 615 0$aFreedom of the press 676 $a323.44/5/0943 701 $aLaursen$b John Christian$0281608 701 $aZande$b Johan van der$01685089 701 $aLuzac$b Elie$f1721-1796.$01685090 701 $aBahrdt$b Karl Friedrich$f1741-1792.$01685091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825647103321 996 $aEarly French and German defenses of freedom of the press$94056947 997 $aUNINA
