Fabien Girard et al., « Vers un « Dictionnaire critique des lecteurs de Diderot ». Échantillons », Recherches sur Diderot et sur l’Encyclopédie, ID : 10.4000/rde.5307
Jules Verne reads Diderot. Maciej Woltyszko’s Semiramida (1996) The effects of Diderot’s works are so diverse that it would be useful to undertake a dictionary of his readers, containing entries on specialists on Diderot, writers whose works show clear traces of having read him and others who refer to him more discreetly. This article brings together three short studies giving an idea of such a work. Fabien Girard reminds us that Balzac knew Diderot’s work very well and often referred to it ; Nadège Langbour wonders whether Jules Verne might have thought of Diderot when writing certain of his works ; and finally Berenika Palus shows how Diderot becomes a literary character in Semiramida, the play created in 1996 by the Polish playwright Maciej Woltyszko.
