Description

Explore the connection between politics and emotion in Cecilia Feilla's study of the French Revolution. This book examines how feeling and political discourse shaped the stage and the people who watched it between 1789 and 1799. While many historians focus on political action plays, this work looks at the actual popularity of sentimental dramas and comedies during this era. Feilla reveals that these plays, many of which came from the Old Regime, were the most frequently performed works of the time. By studying these performances, readers gain a better understanding of how theatre served as a bridge during a period of massive social change. This scholarly text is an essential resource for those studying performance theory, literary analysis, and French history. It offers a fresh perspective on how audiences experienced the revolutionary period through the lens of the theatre.
