Details
Republic of Letters (Respublica literaria) is most commonly used to define intellectual communities in the late seventeenth and eighteenth century in Europe and America. It is mostly accepted that the Republic of Letters emerged in the seventeenth century as a self-proclaimed community of scholars and literary figures that stretched across national boundaries but respected differences in language and culture. These communities that transcended national boundaries formed the basis of a metaphysical Republic. Because of societal constraints on women, the Republic of Letters consisted mostly of men. As such, many scholars interchangeably use Republic of Letters with men of letters . As is evident from the term, the circulation of letters was necessary for its function because it enabled intellectuals to correspond with each other from great distances. All citizens of the seventeenth century Republic of Letters corresponded by letters and they considered it their duty to bring others into the Republic through the expansion of correspondence.
