1757elala128Amsterdam i.e. Paris: Prault fils aîné 1757. 1757. 8vo. pp. ix 10-299. contemporary mottled calf gilt back binding damage to corners & spine ends. First Edition of the first of Diderots two plays. "The publication of the Fils Naturel occasioned an uproar It was sufficently novel in techniques of staging and acting as well as new emphases in character analysis and intellectural content to make it controversial The plays of Diderot were in sober fact revolutionary not merely in an aesthetic sense but also in a political one. The motivations the values the morality the self-evident truths set forth in the Fils Naturel and the Père de Famille were those of a new social class just beginning to feel its own power and to respect its own intutions it is impossible to say anything more cogent about Diderots plays than to repeat what Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in Democracy in America. If you would judge beforehand he remarked of the literature of a people which is lapsing into democracy study its dramatic productions The tastes and propensities natural to democratic nations in respect to literature will therefore first be discernible in drama and it may be foreseen that they will break out there with vehemence. Arthur M. Wilson Diderot pp. 261-62 Diderot sought to reform the theatre in three principal ways by giving it greater realism through an emphasis on stage settings the use of explicit stage directions and increased use of pantomime and gesture by creating what he called domestic and bourgeois tragedy and by making theatre a vehicle for inspiring virtuous conduct. Many of these theoretical aspects were dealt with in the accompanying Discours sur la Poésie Dramatique. The play was published anonymously although everyone knew Diderot was the author mainly because of some remarks concerning heaven and the ways of its providence that prevented the work from being published under public licence.

First Edition of the second of Diderots two dramatic works. "As one biographer of Diderot has remarked it is only in the eighteenth century that a situation like this would be likely to occur: a married mans unmarried mistress and his friend the bachelor of another mans wife are invoked as the twin inspirations of a play the purpose of which is to glorify the family." see Arthur M. Wilson Diderot p. 328 As with his first play Le Fils Naturel Le Père de Famille was printed with an additional text discussing theoretical aspects of the theatre and theatrical production here the Discourse on Dramatic Poetry with separate title and pagination. "In his several chapters Diderot dealt with such subjects as plot dialogue incident the different kinds of plays characterization division of a play into acts and scenes stage decorations costumes pantomime and gestures and most important of all the social function of the theatre The discourse embraced some of the greatest and most abiding themes - of the nature of genius and the criteria of taste; of the function of the artist; and most of all of the good the beautiful and the true. Nor was this all.Diderot also hoped that "all of the imitative arts would adopt a common purpose and one day co-operate with the laws in making us love virtue and hate vice."" Ibid. p. 331 Adams P1.
