This is particularly the case for tragedy, the genre in which France considered itself to surpass its neighbours. Based on extensive archival research, this first sustained study of tragedy under Napoleon examines how a variety of agents used tragedy and its rewriting of history to make an impact on French politics, culture and society, and to help reconstruct the French nation after the Revolution. This volume covers not just Napoleon's efforts, but also those of other individuals in government, the theatrical world, and the wider population. Similarly, it uncovers a public demand for tragedy, be it the return of Corneille, Racine, and Voltaire to the ComeÌdie-Française, or new hits like Les Templiers (1805) and Hector (1809). This research also sheds new light on Napoleonic propaganda and censorship, exposing their incoherencies and illustrating how audiences reacted to these processes. In short, Tragedy and Nation in the Age of Napoleon argues that Napoleonic tragedy was not simply tired and derivative; it engaged its audiences, by chomping at the poetic bit, allowing for a retrial of the Revolution, and offering a vision of the new French nation. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-367) and index. 545 $a Clare Siviter is lecturer in French theatre and performance at the University of Bristol. Her research focuses on the longer Revolutionary period from 1789 to 1815 in France and Francophone communities, and she is particularly interested in censorship, propaganda, and theatrical encounters between different cultures. 650 0 $a French drama (Tragedy) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French drama $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a French drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934265 650 7 $a French drama (Tragedy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934291 600 07 $0 (FrPBN)12089473 $a NapoleÌon $b Ier, $d 1769-1821, $c empereur des Français $x Et le theÌaÌtre. $0 (FrPBN)12089473 $x Et le theÌaÌtre. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11993775 $a TrageÌdie $0 (FrPBN)11931476 $z France $0 (FrPBN)11993775 $y 1789-1815. $2 ram 651 7 $0 (FrPBN)11933785 $a France $y 1799-1804 (Consulat) $0 (FrPBN)11933785 $x Vie intellectuelle. $2 ram 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 710 2 $a Voltaire Foundation. 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858070688696 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2020:05. $x 0435-2866 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5783640CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
