This period in France was characterized by thétromanie, a craze that encompassed the page as well as the stage. The books first part surveys the historical context in which plays were read and offers a theoretical model for understanding this practice. The eighteenth-century closet was valued as a privileged site of reading. Although scholars routinely present this room as a place of calm reflection, Thomas Wynn develops a framework (derived in part from queer theory) to argue that it fosters passionate and disruptive pleasures that elude the coercive normativity of the playhouse. To explore the multipositional experience of reading plays in this period, Wynn turns to the journal Mercure de France, whose extensive reviews help us to think about geographies of reading, coercion, and autonomy. The second part examines how dramatists exploited the critical, imaginative, and formal potential of the reading experience. It offers close analysis of several closet plays: comedies depicting the dispute between Jesuits and Jansenists in the 1730s; Hénaults historical drama Franois II, roi de France (1747); and erotic plays from the end of the period. The study concludes with an account of Rétif de La Bretonnes Le Drame de la vie (1793)--an extreme and arguably unsurpassed example of closet drama. Ultimately, this book shows, closet drama is not failed theatre but rather an indisputable part of the lively, passionate, and combative theatrical culture of eighteenth-century France....4540406Reading Drama in Eighteenth-Century France17421935https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reading-drama-in-eighteenth-century-france-9780198895343/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4077678/image.jpg?v=638443228347300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780198895343_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_Reading Drama in Eighteenth-Century France is the first book-length study of how plays were read in eighteenth-century France and, relatedly, of closet drama: excessive plays that cannot be performed within the playhouses confines and which thus appeal to the readers imagination.
