Description

This scholarly study examines the formal evolution of seventeenth-century French theater, exploring how stylistic innovations reflected broader political thought. The author investigates key theatrical conventions of the period, including the removal of violence from the stage, and traces how French dramatists engaged with Italian political theory to reshape theatrical practice. By connecting performance techniques to concepts of action, temporality, and law, the work demonstrates that theater became a vital venue for articulating political ideas and vocabularies. The book draws on contemporary scholarship in performance studies and political theory to reassess the canonical significance of neoclassical French drama, revealing how aesthetic choices served political purposes and contributed to state formation during the reign of Louis XIV.
