Frank M. Turner (1944–2010) was John Hay Whitney Professor of History, Director of the Beinecke Library, and University Librarian, all at Yale University. Turner delivered a landmark lecture course on European intellectual history that drew hundreds of students over many years. His lectures were lucid, accessible, and beautifully written. With a notable lack of jargon they distilled modern European history from the Enlightenment to the dawn of the twentieth century. The lectures conveyed the turbulence of a rapidly changing era in European thought through its leading figures. This book, edited by Turner’s student Richard A. Lofthouse, is an absolute gift for anyone wanting a single volume education in the ideas that have shaped the modern world.
