Les spécialistes réalisent de plus en plus que le dialogue a été un genre littéraire important au dix-huitième siècle en France. Sa souplesse et sa liberté par rapport aux sortes de règles régissant la tragédie ou l'épopée, par exemple, en firent un véhicule idéal pour explorer toute une gamme de sujets, littéraires, philosophiques, ou politiques. En même temps, étant essentiellement une forme qui se lit, le dialogue était à même de présenter des points de vues critiques et même satiriques sur des problèmes contemporains d'une manière qui aurait été dangereuse dans des productions théâtrales. Par la souplesse de sa forme, le dialogue était lié à d'autres genres littéraires, comme la comédie, ou le roman qui devenait de plus en plus populaire. Ceci est la première bibliographie consacrée au dialogue durant la période critique de son développement, un préalable essentiel pour comprendre l'utilisation de cette forme par des écrivains tels que Voltaire et Diderot. En plus d'une introduction détaillée couvrant la place du dialogue dans la culture française contemporaine, elle offre une description détaillée de près de 500 ouvrages, sur la base des collections de la BnF, de la British Library et autres institutions, présentant dans les grandes lignes les sujets dont ils traitent, et une indication sommaire de l'emplacement d'exemplaires autres que ceux décrits.

Sans négliger l'insertion du phénomène utopique dans l'histoire, mais sans non plus privilégier les explications de type sociologique souvent adoptées, cet ouvrage analyse l'utopie en tant que genre littéraire dont le sens résulte peut-être moins des contenus sociaux ou institutionnels présentés que des techniques narratives utilisées, l'envisageant dans une perspective comparatiste à l'intérieur d'une période qui passe pour avoir été son âge d'or. Le cadre chronologique choisi délimite un corpus à la fois très diversifié et relativement homogène où se côtoient les 'grandes uvres' et les textes moins connus, voire obscurs. On peut à bon droit parler à cette époque d'une littérature utopique franco-anglaise, tant les courants d'échanges, attestés par l'abondance des traductions, des imitations et des réécritures, transcendent alors les frontières nationales. Prenant en compte l'ensemble de la production utopique de forme narrative dans les deux pays entre la fin de l'âge classique et l'apogée des Lumières, l'enquête s'étend des années 1675, où se fixent durablement les normes du genre avec l'apparition des premières grandes utopies françaises, jusqu'à la publication de La Nouvelle Héloïse de Rousseau (1761), avènement d'un modèle utopique nouveau, celui des 'petites sociétés', où l'on peut voir la première esquisse de l'utopie coopérative et phalanstérienne du XIXe siècle.

The title of this work may seem to beg an important question, since it rests on the assumption that Diderot has a 'concept of physical energy'.
