      Was print able to shape the minds of people of France directly?

    Answer:

                      (i) There can be no doubt that print helps the spread of ideas but we must remember that people did not readjust one kind of literature. (ii) If they read the ideas of Voltaire and Rousseau, they were also exposed to monarchical and Church propaganda. (iii) They were not influenced directly by everything they read or saw. (iv) They accepted some ideas and rejected others. They interpreted things their own way. Print did not directly shape their minds but it did open up the possibility of thinking differently.
