Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was one of the French philosophers and
writers of the Enlightenment. This volume contains the first
English translations of his plays, The Illegitimate Son and The
Father of the Family. These complex and very entertaining plays
delve into the attitudes of the middle-class, bourgeois society and
reveal an eighteenth-century "suburbia" that populates dramatic and
suspenseful situations and settings. The translations are vivid and
contemporary and bring the plays alive to early
twenty-first-century stage and culture.
