Breve biografia
Né en 1935, Daniel Roche est historien, spécialiste de l'histoire culturelle et sociale de la France de l'Ancien Régime.

En 1956, il intègre l'École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud et obtient son agrégation d'histoire. Maître-assistant à l’ENS, puis chargé de recherches au CNRS, il oriente ses premiers travaux sur les académies provinciales du XVIIIe siècle. Professeur à l'université Paris VII puis à Paris I, il a enseigné par la suite à l'Institut européen de Florence. En 1989, il devient directeur d'études cumulant à l'EHESS (1989), avant d'être nommé, en 1998, professeur au Collège de France (titulaire de la chaire "Histoire de la France des Lumières") où il est désormais professeur honoraire.

Daniel Roche a dirigé de 1990 à 2005 l’Institut d’histoire moderne et contemporaine (CNRS-ENS) ; il a dirigé avec Pierre Milza la Revue d'histoire moderne et contemporaine.

This relatively lengthy book is actually not a single book at all but a collection of small books on just about every topic one can write about in regards to the Enlightenment. There are chapters on perception of space and time, on the relationship of the king to his subjects, and on such seeming minutiae as the rise in the popularity of coffee and chocolate. And Daniel Roche masterfully weaves all of these various subjects together into a single, cohesive whole, explaining, for instance, how new trends in furniture during the Enlightenment were linked to new ideas of space, freedom, and luxury.

Before approaching this book, I knew a fair amount about the great thinkers of the Enlightenment and their ideas. I had read Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau. But, in retrospect, I hardly understood the Enlightenment as a whole and had no conception whatsoever of the way the various pieces fit together. Roche did that and more, filling in the numerous blank spaces in my understanding of the Enlightenment as a whole and of particular aspects and personalities of the Enlightenment and, perhaps most importantly, bringing them all together in a cohesive way.

Roche's assessments are always fair and well-reasoned. Where disagreement exists on any matter, he never fails to point out the disagreement, to summarize the best arguments for both sides of the divide, and to direct us to the best proponents of each position.

This is a fascinating book from front to back and one that I highly recommend for anyone with an interest in history and/or who is seeking to understand the Enlightenment and the effect that it continues to have on us today.
