Description

Smoothly blending performance theory, literary analysis, and historical insights, this study explores the mutually dependent discourses of feeling and politics and their impact on theatre and theatre audiences during the French Revolution. Remarkably, the most frequently performed and popular plays from 1789 to 1799 were not the political action pieces that have dominated literary and historical criticism, but rather sentimental dramas and comedies, many of which originated on the stages of the Old Regime. The book suggests that theatre provided an important bridge between ancien regime culture and revolutionary society, offering audiences a space to negotiate emotional responses to radical political change. This scholarly work examines how sentiment functioned as a political force, reshaping theatrical conventions and audience expectations during one of history's most transformative periods.

Key Features

Combines performance theory, literary analysis, and historical insights to examine French Revolutionary theatre from 1789 to 1799.

Analyses why sentimental dramas and comedies were the most frequently performed plays during the French Revolution, rather than explicit political works.

Explores the relationship between feeling and politics in theatre audiences, revealing how emotion shaped responses to revolutionary change.

Published by Routledge as part of the Performance in the Long Eighteenth Century: Studies in Theatre series.
