Musset libertin ? Alors que le romantisme est a son apogee, "l’enfant du siecle" reve de Louis XV et de Casanova. Sa nostalgie pour un monde revolu, imagine d’apres la litterature, a quelque chose d’anachronique et en meme temps de revolutionnaire.

Numerous controversies surrounded the Paracelsian revival and early alchemical books in France. In the 1620s, Christian apologists denounced libertines and the materialistic and pantheistic authors of books on alchemy in the same breath. This study of the early French reception of alchemy and Paracelsian ideas will be followed by one on alchemical circles and their princely patrons, and another on science, religion, and literature in alchemical thought.
