The literature and art of the French Enlightenment is everywhere marked by an intense awareness of the moment. The parallel projects of living in, representing, and learning from the moment run through the Enlightenments endeavors as tokens of an ambition and a heritage imposing its only and ultimately impossible cohesion. In this illuminating study, Thomas M. Kavanagh argues that Enlightenment culture and its tensions, contradictions, and achievements flow from a subversive attention to the present as present, freed from the weight of past and future.Examining a wide sweep of literary and artistic culture, Kavanagh argues against the traditional view of the Age of Reason as one of coherent, recognizable ideology expressed in a structured narrative form. In literature, he analyzes the moment at work in the inebriating lightness of Marivauxs repartee; the new-found freedom of Lahontans and Rousseaus ideals of a consciousness limited to the present; Diderots championing of Epicurean epistemology; Graffignys portrayal of abrupt cultural displacement; and Casanovas penchant for chances redefining moment. The moment in art theory and practice is explored in such forms as de Piless defense of color; Du Boss foregrounding of perception; Watteaus indulgence in a corporeal present; Chardins dismantling of mimesis; and Bouchers and Fragonards thematics of desire.
