Description

This book examines the impact of the royal politics of amnesia on tragedy and national historiography in France, 1560-1630. This study argues that the political and legislative process of forgetting internal differences, undertaken in France after the civil wars of the 16th century, leads to subtle yet fundamental shifts in the broader conception of the relationship between readers or spectators on the one hand, and the matter of history, on the other. These shifts, occasioned by the desire for communal reconciliation and generally associated with an increasingly modern sensibility, will nonetheless prove useful to the ideologies of cultural and political absolutism. By juxtaposing representations of the French civil war past as they appear (and frequently overlap) in historiography and tragedy from 1550 1630, Adrea Frisch tracks changes in the ways in which history and tragedy sought to 'move' readers throughout the period of the wars and in their wake. The book shows that a shift from a politically (and martially) active reading of the past to a primarily affective one follows the imperative, so clear and urgent at the turn of the seventeenth century, to put an end to violent conflict. The emotions that neoclassical tragedy and absolutist historiography sought to elicit were intended above all to be shared, and thus a medium via which political differences could be downplayed or forgotten. The book aims to illuminate some of the ways in which the experience of the wars of religion, as registered in tragedy and historiography, contributed to a restructuring of the ever vital relationship between emotion and politics, and thereby to historicize the very concept of 'esmouvoir'. Confronts historiography and tragedy in the era of the French Wars of Religion; it provides both close readings and a broad argument about the impact of the monarchical politics of reconciliation on conceptions of how history and tragedy should 'move' their audiences and offers a broad coverage of French authors and texts including 5 theatrical tragedies: Francois de Chantelouve's Tragedie de Coligny; Pierre Matthieu's Guisiade; Simon Belyard's Guysien; Claude Billard de Courgenai's La mort de Henri IV; and the anonymous Tragedie des rebelles, ou les noms sont feints.
