Chef d’œuvre satirique et burlesque publié après Les Nouveaux dialogues des morts qui suscitèrent quelques méchantes critiques sur la façon dont Fontenelle avait imité Lucien. Pluton, fatigué des doléances des morts (car rififi au royaume des Ombres) prie ces derniers de ne plus le harceler avec leurs disputes, sauf si quelque vivant s’avisait d’imiter l’imitateur, c.a.d. Fontenelle lui-même qui imita Lucien.

1708réf. RW1077London:: Jacob Tonson 1708. 1708. Sm. 8vo. ii l 2 209 1 pp. Original blind- and gilt-stamped calf later gilt-stamped black leather spine label raised bands; rebacked preserving original spine inner joints reinforced with brown cloth tape covers splitting at pp. 62-63 upper cover scratched. Embossed ownership stamps of S. G. Morten heraldic bearing: crowned eagle wings raised. Good. Early edition in English of the author's Nouveaux dialogues des morts. Fontenelle was one of the earliest authors of "popular science" texts. While not much of a researcher himself he found great success expounding the discoveries of his contemporaries in such a way that a broad audience could make sense of them. In his own time his popularity as an author among educated French society was second only to Voltaire and he was in fact "described by Voltaire as having the most universal mind produced by the era of Louis XIV" – Britannica. Fontenelle's Dialogues of the Dead was very popular at the time of its publication and the basic conceit of the book is still employed by authors today. In the work Fontenelle imagines dialogues between great minds of various eras such as the philosophers Socrates and Montaigne or the physicians Erasistratus and William Harvey. This allows the imagined speakers to present their views in a naturalistic way making them much more palatable to lay readers who might have difficulty sloughing through more scholarly works like On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals.
