In 1760, the French playwright Charles Palissot de Montenoy wrote Les Philosophes- a scandalous farcical comedy about a group of opportunistic self-styled philosophers. Les Philosophesemerged in the charged historical context of the pamphlet wars surrounding the publication of Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie, and delivered an oblique but acerbic criticism of the intellectuals of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, including the likes of Diderot and Rousseau. This book presents the first high-quality English translation of the play, including critical apparatus. The translation is based on Olivier Ferret’s edition, and renders the text into iambic pentameter to preserve the character of the original. Adaptations are further provided of Ferret’s introduction and notes. This masterful and highly accessible translation of Les Philosophes opens up this polemical text to a non-specialist audience. It will be a valuable resource to non-Francophone scholars and students working on the philosophical exchanges of the Enlightenment. Moreover, this translation – the result of a year-long project undertaken by Jessica Goodman with six of her undergraduate French students – expounds the value of collaboration between scholar and student, and, as such, provides a model for other language tutors embarking on translation. As with all Open Book publications, this entire book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website. Printed and digital editions, together with supplementary digital material, can also be found at www.openbookpublishers.com

On considère souvent que le xixe siècle a vu la naissance de la « civilisation du journal ». C’est ignorer l’importance quantitative et qualitative de la presse périodique du xviiie siècle et les études importantes qui lui ont été consacrées depuis une trentaine d’années. Cet ouvrage entend montrer que non seulement les journaux du xviiie siècle n’étaient pas prisonniers de pratiques archaïques et sclérosées, mais qu’ils présentaient des traits d’une modernité qui les rend aujourd’hui plus pertinents à certains égards que ceux du siècle suivant. En effet, tandis que de nos jours le modèle du grand quotidien d’information, produit à grands frais par de nombreux journalistes et reporters, semble péricliter, un modèle plus ancien s’impose à nouveau – sur Internet notamment : celui de la petite entreprise animée par une équipe réduite, qui recueille et habille des informations produites par d’autres et fait appel à une communauté de contributeurs bénévoles. Les études rassemblées dans ce livre proposent, à travers des exemples tirés de la presse anglaise, française et espagnole, une exploration originale des nouvelles formes journalistiques qui émergent alors, du courrier des lecteurs à la rubrique nécrologique, tandis qu’apparaissent les premières « campagnes de presse », dont la querelle très médiatisée entre Rousseau et Voltaire.
