Description

Explore the profound connection between legal authority and literary creation in this scholarly volume from Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature. This book examines how the lettre de cachet influenced the personal life and creative output of Denis Diderot. Readers will start with a look at Diderot's own experiences as a recipient of two arrest warrants. The text then moves into a detailed analysis of how these warrants appear in his fictional works, including Le Pere de famille, Jacques le fataliste, and Est-il bon? Est-il mechant?. Finally, the volume offers a new perspective on the novel La Religieuse. It examines the concept of moral cupidity, or self-gain, through the character of Madame Simonin. The study investigates how she uses veiled lettres de cachet to demand obedience from her daughter, Suzanne. This book provides a deep look into the intersection of law, morality, and 18th-century French literature.
