Excerpt from Jean-Jacques Rousseau Et le Théâtre
O. Rency4 réplique à M. Lemaitre avec une malice pétillante. Plus grave, L. Ducros5 compose son plai doyer, par lequel il voudrait convaincre d'erreur les esprits rétifs qui, se réclamant de l'autorité de Mar montel, pensent que la proscription prononcée sur les lettres, les arts et les sciences, dans le fameux premier Discours de Rousseau, n'est due qu'au con seil de Diderot.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the theater, and unpacks the broad discourse on immorality and virtue in 18th-century France. Rousseau's Letter to d'Alembert on the Theatre, a strong critique of theater productions and their corrupting influence on society, drew mixed reactions from contemporaries. The book investigates the deeper reasons for these reactions through the backdrop of Rousseau's earlier work, the First Discourse, which had initiated a wider debate on societal progress and morality. Through careful analysis and examination of a variety of literary works of the period, including those of Voltaire and Marivaux, the author traces the evolution of theatrical culture in France during the 18th century. Ultimately, this captivating and informative book provides a nuanced understanding of Rousseau's views on theater, and sheds light on the broader moral and cultural landscape of the era.
