His latest book vibrates with the strange political and literary energies of ancien regime France. The Forbidden Best-Sellers of Pre-Revolutionary France traces the merging of philosophical, sexual, and anti-monarchical interests into the pulp fiction of the 1780s, banned books that make fascinating reading more than two centuries later. French literature of the eighteenth century means to us today Rousseau and Voltaire and the "classic" texts that, we imagine, gave rise to the Revolution. Yet very few of the standard works of the Enlightenment were as widely read as books whose names we have never heard, books that were the currency of a huge literary underground during the reign of Louis XVI. Included in this volume are Darnton's translations of excerpts from three of these works. After twenty-five years of research, Darnton has summarized his findings in one brilliant work that examines the reciprocal relationship between private literature and the public world, the (illegal) spread of Enlightenment thought, and the interesting possibility that the writings of some not-so-famous authors contributed to the fall of the French aristocracy.

妙趣橫生，商業暗語"philosophical books"；對書籍是否引發革命這樣吸引人但又看似大而無當的問題的處理頗為精妙。

這是作者最好的一部書,也是其閱讀史理論的集中體現。可以說是這一領域的經典了。中文閱讀史研究要做到這個地步, 恐怕只有晚明、晚清民國這幾段。唐、宋的材料最多只夠寫閱讀史的文章, 書恐怕寫不出來。

精彩。论证非常严谨，对anachronism特别小心，不忽视概念本身的历史，文学史在这本书面前一戳就破。
