Description: "The Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes, or Battle of the Books as it was known in England, famously pitted the Ancients on the one side and the Moderns on the other. This book presents a new intellectual history of the dispute, in which authors explore its manifestations in the arts and sciences across Europe, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries."
