Between 1750 and 1830, two key cultural achievements - the sixteenth-century Reformation and the late eighteenth-century birth of 'German' philosophy - became fused in public discussion. Enlightenment's Reformation explores how the Reformation was transformed into a narrative of progress, and why it has had such a long-standing impact.
