DORAT (Claude Joseph) Mélanges littéraires, or Journal des Dames, dedicated to the Queen. March 1777–March 1778. Paris: Vve Thiboust, 1777–78. 5 volumes, in-12. Contemporary half fawn marbled sheepskin, smooth, decorated spines with red title labels and volume numbers, red edges. Claude Joseph Dorat, also known as Chevalier Dorat, was a French poet and playwright. He joined the King’s Musketeers but quickly left the army. He began to frequent the circles of literature, theater, and fashionable women. He published works in many different genres: poems, tragedies, comedies, tales, fables, epistles, odes, Heroides... Dorat inspired a large number of poets who came to be known as the School of Dorat. Associated with Fréron and championed by *L’Année littéraire*, he declared himself an enemy of the philosophers, who waged a fierce war against him, and found himself opposed by the encyclopedists. In 1777, Dorat edited the *Journal des Dames*, which had been founded in 1759. Dorat later sold the journal to Mercier. Provenance: Printed bookplate from the Bonnard Library.
