| Summary: | This critical edition of the first tragedy in France devoted to the character of Spartacus places Bernard-Joseph Saurin in the intellectual milieu of the Encyclopedists. His tragedy of 1760, reworked in 1769, offers itself a "public school of morals", fully subscribing to the ideological and artistic program of the Enlightenment. The betrayals made by Saurin on the historic Spartacus are to be placed in the history of the construction of the national identity carried by the Third State on the horizon of the Seven Years' War. They are part of the invention of the great man made in the 18th century, notably in the post-Voltairean “philosophical propaganda” tragedies. |
