Enlightenment and Sociability in 18th-century Britain

Öz

This monograph takes on the important task of securing a wider audience for one of the most extraordinary documents of the Enlightenment. An Account of the Fair Intellectual Club (1720) describes a small, secret club of teenage women who came together in Edinburgh for the purpose of mutual self-improvement.−When word of their secret was about to leak, they took the proactive step of publishing this account of their venture. Their document is a milestone in the history of our modern notions of “intellectual” work and of the types of associations–such as clubs–that enabled it.
