{"product_id":"diderot-denis-diderot-9781853995880","title":"Diderot: La Religieuse","description":"\u003cp\u003eA leading figure of the Enlightenment, Denis Diderot fearlessly provoked the wrath of the French establishment through his writings. Aristocratic privilege, religious authority and obscurantism, colonialism, militarism, European assumptions of moral authority, the subordinate role of women, all were examined in a flow of polemical and innovative works in all genres (including the massive \"Encyclopedie\" of which he was the prime mover). \"La Religieuse\" (1760) was banned for many years because of its depiction of the cloistered fate forced upon many women, entombed in an atmosphere of neurosis and sexual repression. This controversial eighteenth-century work is now put under a modern theorist's microscope with the full critical apparatus that university students need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denis Diderot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853995886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853995880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.48w x 0.47d","brand":"Denis Diderot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587930894591,"sku":"9781853995880","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diderot-denis-diderot-9781853995880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
