Le Père de famille (English: The Father of the family) is a 1758 play by Denis Diderot. In this play, Saint Albin, a young man, falls in love with Sophie, a poor young woman of unknown parentage. His father, the title character, is against the match, and his uncle actively plots against it by trying to force Sophie into a convent. Against her better judgement, Cécile, Saint-Albin's sister, hides Sophie in their home at the behest of Germeuil, a friend of the family. When the father discovers the disobedience of his children, he is dismayed; and the entire situation is exacerbated by the ill-intentioned uncle. When the uncle is confronted by the young woman in person, however, he realizes that she is his niece. With the question of her parentage solved, Saint-Albin is free to marry Sophie,

dbo:abstract
  • (Pour les articles homonymes, voir Le Père de famille. ) Le Père de famille est un drame bourgeois en cinq actes et en prose de Diderot écrit en 1758. L'édition originale de la pièce était accompagnée d'un Discours sur la poésie dramatique, un essai de Diderot sur le théâtre. La pièce est créée à Marseille en novembre 1760 par la troupe de Jean-Baptiste Sarny, avant d'être représenté à Paris le 18 février 1761 par les Comédiens français au théâtre de la rue des Fossés Saint-Germain. La première représentation du Père de famille marque les débuts du drame bourgeois sur la scène française. Diderot ne cachait pas l’estime qu’il faisait de sa pièce et les hautes espérances qu’il y fondait. Le Père de famille devait créer un nouveau genre, qui serait le plus large, le plus fécond, le seul vrai, le genre sérieux et honnête. Diderot avait prétendu se peindre lui-même au caractère de Saint-Albin, et retracer l’histoire de sa passion pour sa femme lorsqu’elle était mademoiselle Champion. (fr)

When the uncle is confronted by the young woman in person, however, he realizes that she is his niece. With the question of her parentage solved, Saint-Albin is free to marry Sophie, Cécile is free to marry Germeuil, and the father welcomes all his children with open arms. Diderot followed this play with a treatise on theatre entitled Discours sur la poésie dramatique. In 1765, the play was parodised by Antoine-Alexandre-Henri Poinsinet. The play was performed at the Richmond Theatre in Richmond, Virginia on the night of the fire of December 26, 1811. Sophia Lee (English novelist and dramatist) based her first piece, a three-act drama (produced by George Colman the Elder performed at the Haymarket Theatre on 5 August 1780), called The Chapter of Accidents, on Le père de famille.
