Professor Elmarsafy's research illuminates neglected areas of Enlightenment studies: religion, the politics of translation, and the actual reception of the Qur’an in eighteenth-century France and England. His talk will be part of a lecture series hosted by the Center for the Humanities on "Enlightenment, francité and their ‘Others’ in the Eighteenth Century: Gender, Religion, and Race."
