French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, ”the general effect of the theatre is to strengthen the national character to augment the national inclinations, and to give a new energy to all the passions”. During the Enlightenment, the advancement of radical ideas along with the emergence of the bourgeois class contributed to a renewed interest in theatre”s efficacy, informed by philosophy yet on behalf of politics. While the 18th century saw a growing desire to define the unique and specific features of a nation”s drama, and audiences demanded more realistic portrayals of humanity, theatre is also implicated in this age of revolutions.
A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Enlightenment examines these intersections, informed by the writings of key 18th-century philosophers.
Richly illustrated with 45 images, the ten chapters each take a different theme as their focus: institutional frameworks; social functions; sexuality and gender; the environment of theatre; circulation; interpretations; communities of production; repertoire and genres; technologies of performance; and knowledge transmission.
