Republic of Letters (Respublica literaria) is most commonly used to define intellectual communities in the late seventeenth and eighteenth century in Europe and America.

All citizens of the seventeenth century Republic of Letters corresponded by letters and they considered it their duty to bring others into the Republic through the expansion of correspondence.
