A propos de cet article

Paperback. Following his opposition to the establishment of a theatre in Geneva, Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often considered an enemy of the stage. Yet he was fascinated by drama: he was a keen theatre-goer, his earliest writings were operas and comedies, his admiration for Italian lyric theatre ran through his career, he wrote one of the most successful operas of the day, Le Devin du village, and with his Pygmalion, he invented a new theatrical genre, the Scene lyrique (melodrama). Through multi-faceted analyses of Rousseaus theatrical and musical works, authors re-evaluate his practical and theoretical involvement with and influence on the dramatic arts, as well as his presence in modern theatre histories. New readings of the Lettre a dAlembert highlight its political underpinnings, positioning it as an act of resistance to external bourgeois domination of Genevas cultural sphere, and demonstrate the work's influence on theatrical reform after Rousseaus death. Fresh analyses of his theory of voice, developed in the Essai sur lorigine des langues, highlight the unique prestige of Italian opera for Rousseau. His ambition to rethink the nature and function of stage works, seen in Le Devin du village and then, more radically, in Pygmalion, give rise to several different discussions in the volume, as do his complex relations with Gluck. Together, contributors shed new light on the writers relationship to the stage, and argue for a more nuanced approach to his theatrical and operatic works, theories and legacy. An analysis of Rousseau's conflicted relationship with the theatre. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
