Theatre de Femmes de l'Ancien Regime: Xviie-Xviiie Siecles (Litteratures Francophones, 803)

Rate this book
In the final decades of the reign of Louis XIV, women's theater, now performed at the Comedie-Francaise (the French national theater), ventured into new territories that foreshadowed the Enlightenment. These playwrights, asserting their identity as women authors, excelled in the amateur theatre de societe as well as tragedy and comedy.

Recueil de pièces de théâtre de dramaturges femmes, ce livre fait parfaitement ce pour quoi il est conçu, c'est-à-dire rendre accessibles ces pièces assez méconnues et remettre en lumière des autrices talentueuses mais effacées de l'histoire littéraire.
Les pièces sont de qualité inégales mais il y a vraiment des pépites, notamment des tragédies en alexandrins que j'ai beaucoup appréciées : Laodamie (Bernard), Arrie et Petus (Barbier), Habis (Gomez).
