For over a century, composers and librettists attempted to silence such anti-traditionalist views through dramas that ridicule, banish, or, even more violently, silence and subjugate female characters who resist marriage. These dramas portray independent-minded women as agents of chaos who deploy their sexuality to destabilize class demarcations, or to destroy families and at times the monarchy itself. Coquettes, Wives, and Widows: Gender Politics in French Baroque Opera and Theater shows how dramatists wrested narratives away from women and weaponized those narratives in a defense of the status quo. It examines a wide range of works of different types: from Jean-Philippe Rameau's PlateÌe, ou Junon jalouse and AndreÌ Campra's AreÌthuse, ou la Vengeance de l'Amour to representative works from the ComeÌdie Franaise, the ComeÌdie Italienne, and the fairgound theaters. Each theater offered denigrating portraits of independent women as dissolute, obstinate, and extremist. The operas and other theatrical works explored in Coquettes, Wives, and Widows reveal who (in the view of many at the time) should exercise authority to make choices about women's lives. They also give evidence of widespread fears about how society might change if it were to grant women themselves that responsibility. 650 0 $a Opera $z France $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Opera $z France $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women in opera. 650 7 $a Opera. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046145 650 7 $a Women in opera. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177937 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 600 17 $a BoÌrngen, ... $2 gnd 650 7 $a Geschlechterrolle $2 gnd 650 7 $a Oper $2 gnd 651 7 $a Frankreich $2 gnd 650 7 $a Femmes $x Dans l'opeÌra. $0 (FrPBN)12564736 $0 (FrPBN)12564736 $2 ram 650 7 $a OpeÌra $z France $y 17e sieÌcle. $0 (FrPBN)11975998 $0 (FrPBN)11975998 $2 ram 650 7 $a OpeÌra $z France $y 18e sieÌcle. $0 (FrPBN)11976032 $0 (FrPBN)11976032 $2 ram 648 7 $a 1600-1799 $2 fast 830 0 $a Eastman studies in music 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214050015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=703B8BEC72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
