ARTHUR M. WILSON, Professor of Biography and Government, is the author of Diderot: The Testing Years, 1713-1759, which was published by Oxford University Press in late May. Described as "the first comprehensive study in English since 1878 of the great French encyclopedist," this biography assembles all the authenticated information available about Diderot's life up to the critical year of 1759, a year which was crucial for him both in his public and his private life. Professor Wilson depicts Diderot's place in the unfolding of the Enlightenment and discusses his connection with Rousseau, D'Alembert, Voltaire, and other figures in the political and intellectual history of the eighteenth century. A feature of the book is the effort it makes to set forth the history of the Encyclopedic in conjunction with the personal life of its chief editor, who was one of the most perceptive and energetic personalities of his age. For this book, Professor Wilson received the Modern Language Association-Oxford University Press Award.
