Abstract

French Studies THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY By SHEILA MASON, Senior LecturerinFrench in the University of Birmingham, and D. J. ADAMS, Lecturer in French in the University of Manchester I. GENERAL LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT. A number of articles this year concern erudition, individual and collective, and its relationship with the history of ideas. M. Benitez, 'Anatomic de la matiere: matiere et mouvement dans le naturalisme clandestin du XVIIIe siecle en France', StV, 205: 7-30, considering the persistence of Aristotelian principles in 18th-century materialism, traces the fortunes of the theory of elements (referring particularly to Maillet's Telliamed), and its logical interconnection with the attempts of clandestine writers to explain the essence and cause of movement. I d., 'Lumieres et elitisme dans les manuscrits clandestins', DhS, 14:289-303, suggests, against the impression fostered by the use of techniques of vulgarization, that the very form of the clandestine tract, symbolizing a conviction of the private nature of truth, conveys the conservative character of much theoretical scepticism. * Le Materialisme du XV/Ile siecle et la litterature clandestine, ed.
