Denis Diderot’s works are regarded as milestones in theater history. This book is the first study that contextualizes his acting theory, as presented in the Paradoxe sur le comédien, in eighteenth-century material culture, centering on four humanoid objects: the automaton, the statue, the jumping jack, and the mannequin.
