What it is about
The Father of the Family (1758), a serious prose comedy about a father and a son who falls in love badly.
Context and history
It matters mainly as an experiment: Diderot wanted a theatre of ordinary people, neither noble tragedy nor farce, and this is his attempt. The genre he invented — bourgeois drama — is the ancestor of almost all modern theatre. Text in FRENCH: the original. Diderot wrote in French and that is what should be cited.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
