Review:
`What [Jacob] does do very well is to take us behind the scenes to listen to little groups of people, in one or two eighteenth-century European cities, as they lived their social and intellectual lives in the muddle of ideas, ideals, prejudices, assumptions and social aspirations that make up life as people live it. For that we can all be grateful to her.'French History
`A model of the new intellectual history. There have been many calls for a `social history' of the Enlightenment, but few have actually achieved one, and none in such grand fashion. Jacob gets beyond the symbolism and ritual to place Freemasonry squarely within the social and political contexts of eighteenth-century Europe, and the unique breadth of her archival work gives the book a genuine comparative core. This pioneering study―bold, comprehensive, and vivid―is likely to be the standard work on the subject for years to come.'Gary Kates, Trinity University
a welcome and overdue attack on a subject touched on by Mornet sixty years ago ... a major step towards an account of masonry which satisfactorily integrates it with other sides of the eighteenth century ... Professor Jacob has thoroughly and extensively set out the cultural reality which underlay so much anti-masonic polemic ... Professor Jacob ought to be widely read (EHR April 1995)
scholarly, ground-clearing...It is in Amsterdam that Jacob has made the greatest in-roads into the hitherto closed world of Dutch Freemasonry and she has uncovered an embarrassment of archival riches. (British Journal for Eighteenth Century Studies vol 18, part 1)
