Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This work is the first complete English translation of the 1768 play Julie, ou le Bon Pere, and the original 1777 version of Point de Lendermain, comprising the only known fictional writings of Dominique Vivant Denon. Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825) is celebrated today as a quintessential Napoleonic polymath: a pioneering archaeologist, the first director of the Louvre Museum, and a diplomat. However, long before he accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte to Egypt, a young Denon made his literary mark in the salons of pre-revolutionary Paris. His early creative output focused heavily on the performing and visual arts, with one performed play, and one work of literature.In presenting this English translation of Dominique-Vivant Denon's 1769 play, Julie, ou le Bon Pere (Julie, or the Good Father), it is critical to trace its lineage back to its prose source material. The core plot of Denon's piece was adapted directly from a popular tale by Nicolas Bricaire de la Dixmerie entitled Le Sage honteux de l'etre (The Sage Ashamed to Be One). Dixmerie's piece was first published anonymously in an 1766 issue of Mercure de France.Dixmerie and Denon were both prominent members of Les Neuf Soeurs (The Nine Sisters), the well known French Masonic lodge of the Enlightenment era. This lodge was a tightly knit group of intellectual friendships, where Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, and the painter Jacques-Louis David routinely met.Based on comprehensive translation registries, academic bibliographies, and literary history, the original 1777 version of Point de lendemain has never been published, either as a standalone English translation, or in combination with Denon's other writing. Translating the original 1777 edition of Vivant Denon's Point de lendemain presents a distinct linguistic challenge. It requires rescuing the text from the retrospective, highly polished vocabulary of its famous, and often defined as "definitive," 1812 revision. While the 1812 text leans heavily on a stylized, coolly detached prose that anticipates nineteenth-century psychological realism, the 1777 original remains tethered to the fluid, often volatile vocabulary of late-Enlightenment sensibilite.It is hoped that this work will add to the knowledge of the English reader of French Enlightenment literature, and provide an enjoyable experience for the general 21st century reader, and additional resources for those working in an academic field. Discover the lost literary origins of a legendary polymath through these rare English translations of his early first fictional works, capturing the volatile spirit of the Enlightenment before his rise to fame.
