Editorial Reviews
Review

"He provides an important corrective to the widely held view that Italy was a cultural backwater and brings one strand of early modern Italian cultural history, largely terra incognita to non-Italian historians, to light." -- Barbara Shapiro, American Historical Review

"Dooley has vividly illustrated this largely untold story and suggested many of its implications for intellectual history." -- Donald R. Kelley, International Journal of the Classical Tradition

Review

"Dooley's work will find a ready audience among early modern scholars in history and philosophy. A brief comment cannot do justice to the subtlety of his ambitious argument, the readability of his prose, the unimpeachability of his secondary sources and his enviable familiarity with a wide range of primary sources, especially in archival form." -- Zachary S. Shiffman, Northeastern Illinois University

"The Social History of Skepticism sheds light on unknown facets of seventeenth-century political culture and shows that the cultural origins of the Enlightenment reach further back than has been previously considered." -- Jacob Soll, Rutgers University
