Viac o knihe

Focusing on Dennis de Coetlogon's contributions, this analysis delves into the cultural context of British encyclopedias in the eighteenth century. It highlights how Coetlogon's Universal history challenged emerging norms by blending impartiality with personal insights, expanding the scope of encyclopedic content to include history, geography, and religion. His work, which featured fewer but longer articles, promoted Christian and conservative values, serving as a counterpoint to the French Encyclopédie. It also influenced the serial publication of Chambers's Cyclopedia and laid groundwork for the Encyclopedia Britannica.
