intellectuals in the last quarter of the eighteenth century is based on biographical data concerning 73 individuals. It deals with the image of intellectual life of that period in current scholarship, and with the self-image and ethos of scholars, authors, poets and artists. That self-image and ethos, however, often clash with the realities of their everyday lives. This prosopographical investigation oﬀers a new look at intellectual life on a basic level. The current image of intellectual life in the Tokugawa period is one of dissatisfaction and withdrawal, whereas the image that results from this study is one of dynamism and interaction.

Anna Beerens studied modern and classical Japanese and classical Chinese at Leiden University. She was a PhD researcher at the Research School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies (CNWS) at Leiden, between 2000 and 2005. In 2006 Leiden University has initiated a series Leiden Dissertations at Leiden University Press. This series aﬀords an opportunity to those who have recently obtained their doctorate to publish the results of their doctoral research so as to ensure a wide distribution among colleagues and the interested public. The dissertations will become available both in printed and in digital versions. Books from this LUP series can be ordered through www.lup.nl. The large majority of Leiden dissertations from 2005 onwards is available digitally on www.dissertation.leidenuniv.nl.
