As performance and theatrical language became an integral part of the French Revolution, its metaphors seeped into genres beyond the stage. Claire TreÌvien traces the ways in which theatrical activity influenced Revolutionary print culture, particularly its satirical prints, and considers how these became an arena for performance in their own right. Following an account of the historical and social contexts of Revolutionary printmaking, the author analyses over 50 works, incorporating scenes such as street singers and fairground performers, unsanctioned Revolutionary events, and the representation of Revolutionary characters in hell. Through analysing these depictions as an ensemble, focusing on style, vocabulary, and metaphor, Claire TreÌvien shows how prints were a potent vehicle for capturing and communicating partisan messages across the political spectrum. In spite of the intervening centuries, these prints still retain the power to evoke the Revolution like no other source material.-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Prints $z France $y 18th century. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Revolution, 1789-1799 $v Art and the revolution. 650 0 $a Theater in art. 650 7 $a Prints. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076812 650 7 $a Theater in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149338 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 4 $a Art and the revolution. 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Voltaire Foundation, $e issuing body. 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858067417679 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2016:10. $x 0435-2866 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A03E8B8ECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
