Encyclopdie Noire: The Making of Moreau de Saint-Mrys Intellectual World Johnson Sara E.
If you peer closely into the bookstores, salons, and diplomatic circles of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, sooner or later Mederic Louis Elie Moreau de Saint-Mery is bound to appear. But the gilded spines and elegant designs that decorate his archive obscure the truth: Moreau's achievements were, at every turn, predicated upon the work of enslaved and free people of color. As a lawyer, philosophe, and Enlightenment polymath, Moreau created and compiled an immense archive that remains a vital window into the fragile social, political, and intellectual fault lines of the Age of Revolutions.
Their rich intellectual and linguistic cultures filled the pages of his most applauded works. Their labor amassed the wealth that afforded him the leisure to research, think, and write. They set the type, dried the paper, and folded the pages that created his legacy.
Every beautiful book Moreau
