The Writerâ s Lot explores the working lives of eighteenth-century French authorsâ celebrities and unknownsâ at a time when their example, if not often their ideas, changed the course of history. Taking the measure of â literary Franceâ as a whole, Robert Darnton offers rare insight into the social ferment of the Age of Revolution.
