| Achoimre: | 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.
