"In 1760, the French playwright Charles Palissot de Montenoy wrote Les Philosophes - a scandalous farcical comedy about a group of opportunistic self-styled philosophers. Les Philosophes emerged in the charged historical context of the pamphlet wars surrounding the publication of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, and delivered an oblique but acerbic criticism of the intellectuals of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, including the likes of Diderot and Rousseau. This book presents the first high-quality English translation of the play, including critical apparatus. The translation is based on Olivier Ferret's edition, and renders the text into iambic pentameter to preserve the character of the original. Adaptations are further provided of Ferret's introduction and notes. This masterful and highly accessible translation of Les Philosophes opens up this polemical text to a non-specialist audience. It will be a valuable resource to non-Francophone scholars and students working on the philosophical exchanges of the Enlightenment. Moreover, this translation - the result of a year-long project undertaken by Jessica Goodman with six of her undergraduate French students - expounds the value of collaboration between scholar and student, and, as such, provides a model for other language tutors embarking on translation projects with their students."--Publisher's website.

Il Seicento è stato per l'Europa il "secolo del teatro", per la quantità e qualità delle opere drammatiche e per la ricchezza delle invenzioni sceniche. Studiarlo, in particolare in area francese e spagnola alla luce della compenetrazione tra Classicismo, Manierismo e Barocco, significa discutere e approfondire alcuni nodi tematici essenziali non solo alla conoscenza di un'epoca storico-letteraria ma alla stessa modernità. Questo volume, curato da Barbara Innocenti (cui si deve anche la trascrizione di un originale documento sulla morte di Luigi XIV rinvenuto negli archivi pistoiesi), grazie alla partecipazione di noti specialisti che si sono cimentati nella lettura di testi esemplari nel quadro della complessiva storiografi a teatrale e di un ricco apparato iconografico si presenta dunque con il respiro comparatistico necessario.

French Renaissance and Baroque Drama helps us rethink pressing issues of the day, such as war, possession, sacrifice, religious conversion, law, and gender. This volume includes essays that employ a range of cutting-edge approaches to elucidate questions such as the social, religious, legal, and political functions of drama, how the staged body transmits emotions to the audience, and the ways in which drama creates communities of inclusion and exclusion, especially during times of conflict.
