This research paper: 3 pages in length. The historical significance of Larry Wolff's "Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment" – particularly pages 17-49 – speaks to defining moments of the Enlightenment that portrayed Eastern Europe in a wholly negative and condescending manner. While philosophers such as Rousseau and Voltaire were emitting pungent literary remarks concerning how Eastern Europeans were barbaric, backward and uncivilized, the extent to which these erroneous accusations wreaked havoc upon its people was both grand and far-reaching. Wolff presents these documents as a means by which to illustrate just how influential – if not detrimentally so – philosophical ideals were to Eastern Europe's development, as well as how such damning words became infused within the Eastern Europeans themselves, causing them to believe how wretched a people everyone else believed they were. No additional sources cited.
