500    Companion volume to the author's The forbidden bestsellers
       of pre-revolutionary France. 
504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    The world of illegal publishing in eighteenth-century 
       France was large and varied, taking in the greatest works 
       of Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Diderot, as well 
       as the scandalous books of grub street writers. Here we 
       have a map of that world, constructed by Robert Darnton 
       based on his many years of research in the field. Darnton 
       shows us the scope of this literary underground with a 
       complete bibliography of the hundreds of books that 
       circulated "under the cloak." He documents their 
       geographical distribution throughout France, and measures 
       the levels of demand for these books. By ranking these 
       levels of demand he compiles a bestseller list of illegal 
       books, with surprising results. Having thoroughly mined 
       the sources, Darnton provides a trove of information on 
       the illegal literature of Old Regime France. The result is
       an invaluable resource to specialists in French cultural 
       history, the history of the book, the social history of 
       ideas, and problems of censorship and state control of 
       ideas. 
561    Gift of Dr. James H. Poivan, Professor of History, 
       Emeritus.
