A treatment of Montesquieu's "Persian Letters", which argues that the novel is a philosophic critique of despotism in all its forms: domestic, political and religious. It shows that Montesquieu believed that the Enlightenment failed as a philosophy by not recognising man as an erotic being.

Industry Reviews

In an elegant work Diana Schaub claims the ^RPersian Letters^I for political philosophy and connects it to liberalism today. With many revelations she brings to light the little games that Montesquieu plays with his readers, and she brings to life the matters of love that formal liberalism ignores. The book is no less delightful than serious.--Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard University
