About the author:
Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was a French writer, philosopher, art critic, and co-founder and editor of the 'Encyclopédie'. Having been passed over by the Académie Française and received little recognition for his work, it wasn't until Empress Catherine the Great appointed Diderot as her librarian in 1766 that his reputation – and finances - improved. He remains today one of the most prominent figures during the Age of the Enlightenment, and a strong influence on the beginnings of the French Revolution.
