A Fan of Genius

Genius Fan is a portal to the Age of Genius: that’s 1700-1799, the Mighty Eighteenth century, the Enlightenment. Bow down before its accomplishments and tremble at the potency of its ideas…hiding under the table will not protect you from its impact. You will only benefit.

This was an age when giants like David Hume, Samuel Johnson, Voltaire and many others roamed the Earth, and Scotsman James Boswell tootled around among them. All ages, centuries, peoples and powers have their fascination, but only the Eighteenth deserves EVERYONE’s attention and study.

Follow me. I’ll guide you through the age, meeting its people, places and ideas. I collect the books they wrote and read and the books scholars wrote about the Eighteenth century.
