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.
