Description

This scholarly monograph offers the first comprehensive study of the Societe des auteurs dramatiques, the pioneering professional association for playwrights established in 1777 by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. Set against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary France under King Louis XVI, the work examines how the SAD's two dozen members, drawn from the Comedie Francaise, collectively advanced both their professional interests and the intellectual discourse surrounding literary ownership and theatrical rights. The book traces the organisation's formation under aristocratic patronage, its achievements in establishing precedent for creative workers' collective action, and the constraints that ultimately limited its influence during a period of profound social upheaval. Essential reading for scholars of French theatre history, intellectual property law, and the social dimensions of literary production in eighteenth-century Europe, this volume illuminates how writers first attempted to professionalise their craft and protect their creative works through organised association.
