To Enlightenment thinkers Alexander exemplified the West and Europe, especially in his role as the conqueror of Asia. Classical texts, ancient history, and the new science of archaeology were all deployed in the service of European empire-building. Alexander was of interest to a variety of scholars from different parts of Europe - moralists, philosophers, economists, geographers, historians, and cartographers. In the course of the long 18th century, an entirely new image of the Macedonian conqueror emerged, as the precedent of European political and commercial expansion overseas.--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067 600 07 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1800513 647 7 Macedonian Expansion|c(Greece :|d359-323 B.C.)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1353599 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 359 B.C.-1799 A.D.|2fast 650 0 Hellenism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85060062|xInfluence.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002005444 650 0 Hellenism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85060062|xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006046 650 0 History, Ancient|xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008105652 650 7 Hellenism|xInfluence.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 954761 650 7 Hellenism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/954758 650 7 Hellenism|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/954759 650 7 History, Ancient|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/958355 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 975769 651 0 Europe|xIntellectual life|y18th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045728 651 0 Greece|xHistory|yMacedonian Expansion, 359-323 B.C.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85057087 |xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh00006046 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBriant, Pierre.|sAlexandre des lumières English.|tFirst European.|dCambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England : Harvard University Press, [2017] |z9780674659667|w(DLC) 2016009269|w(OCoLC)943710213 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1421259|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
