Nominator's project description
| Professor Delon is an international authority in the study of the literature and culture of the European 18th-century. He has significantly contributed to the establishment of the research on the French Enlightenment as an interdisciplinary and comparative field. With a tremendous energy Professor Delon has published the works of some of the most famous authors of the 18th-century and thereby made known to a large public. In Germany he will contribute particularly to the construction of a large research consortium of eight European universities on the subject of "European Cultures - European Identity". |
