Description

Explore the history of the first professional association for creative writers in European history. This scholarly study examines the Societe des auteurs dramatiques (SAD) and its role in the cultural landscape of France between 1775 and 1793. Founded by the playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais in 1777, the SAD operated under the protection of aristocrats at the court of King Louis XVI. This book provides a detailed look at the members of the SAD, who were most closely linked to the royal theater, the Comedie Francaise. By analyzing the achievements and failures of this group, the text offers a deep look into the development of literary property and social structures during a period of significant transition. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of theatre, the evolution of writers' rights, and the cultural shifts in late 18th-century France.
