Conversation with the Marèchale de *** (original) (raw)
Conversation with the Maréchale de *** (or Conversation with a Christian Lady, French: Entretien d'un philosophe avec la maréchale de ***) is a 1774 essay by Denis Diderot containing a friendly dialogue, of a disputatious nature, between a religious lady and a freethinker, on theological issues. The content of the dialogue is polemical, but its tone has been variously described by modern commentators as being gentle, graceful, gracious, charming, witty and urbane. A Dutch publisher, to whom Diderot initially sent the manuscript, rejected it on the ground that it was too inflammatory. It was eventually published under an assumed name.
