Description

Discover the first comprehensive analysis of Catherine the Great's plays and opera libretti in this scholarly study of eighteenth-century Russian theatre. This book examines the Empress's dramatic output, revealing works marked by striking diversity, cutting satire, and innovative stylistic approaches. O'Malley traces Catherine's engagement with European theatrical traditions, including influences from Shakespeare and Moliere, whilst situating her creative endeavours within the broader landscape of Russian literature and aesthetic debates of her era. The study provides critical interpretation of these significant dramatic works, demonstrating how Catherine used theatre as a vehicle for political expression and artistic innovation during a transformative period in Russian cultural history.
