emergence of a theatrical science of man in France, 1660-1740

This book highlights a radical departure from discussions of dramatic literature and its undergirding rules to a new, relational discourse on the emotional power of theater. Grounded in contemporary and early-modern theories, this reassessment of the theatrical experience shows a broader change in conceptions of subjectivity, emotionality, and learning during the early French Enlightenment.

Aceasta carte evidentiaza o plecare radicala de la discutiile de literatura dramatica si de regulile sale subterane la un nou discurs relational asupra puterii emotionale a teatrului. Bazata pe teoriile contemporane si timpurii moderne, aceasta reevaluare a experientei teatrale arata o schimbare mai larga in conceptiile subiectivitatii, emotionalitatii si invatarii in timpul iluminarii franceze timpurii.
