5.0 out of 5 stars
definitive work to this date in English regarding John Toland,
By
This review is from: John Toland and the Deist Controversy: A Study in Adaptations (Harvard Historical Studies, V. 101) (Hardcover)
Robert E. Sullivan has written an elegant and comprehensive review of the intellectual place of John Toland in the british and beyond the british enlightenment. It is to the credit of Harvard University Press that they printed such a scholarly product. Sullivan's prose is comparable to Gibbon or a Chesterton, which will either delight or enrage its readers. Nearly every sentence is 'loaded' in poetry disguised as prose. The life and work of Toland is instructive in the years when the West moved from Christendom to enlightenment/liberalism. It is not surprising that those who own this tome hold onto it, which explains its high price on the cyber-market, but a friend loaned his to me--sans charge.
