Description

This work spans three centuries to provide the first full account of the long and diverse history of genius in France. Exploring a wide range of examples from literature, philosophy, and history, as well as medicine, psychology, and journalism, the text examines the ways in which the idea of genius has been ceaselessly reflected on and redefined through its uses in these different contexts.
