Le théâtre est la mise en corps de l'Idée. Il est un mode de l'Idée toujours infecté par le désir. D'où les anathèmes dont il a été la victime, les controverses qu'il a suscitées. Le théâtre serait philosophie bâtarde, ou bâtardise philosophique : impureté principielle, leçon détournée, analyse trop sérieuse pour être vraie, vérité trop ludique pour être assurée. Mais c'est cette impureté qu'il faut défendre, cette leçon qu'il faut délivrer, cette analyse qu'il faut produire, et ce jeu dont il faut jouir. Le théâtre est l'autre chemin de la vérité. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, il est de notre devoir de le parcourir pour nous réconcilier avec elle.

Throughout the nineteenth century, people heard more music in the theatre-accompanying popular dramas such as Frankenstein, Oliver Twist, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Lady Audley's Secret, The Corsican Brothers, The Three Musketeers, as well as historical romances by Shakespeare and Schiller-than they did in almost any other area of their lives. But unlike film music, theatrical music has received very little attention from scholars and so it has been largely lost to us. In this groundbreaking study, Michael V. Pisani goes in search of these abandoned sound

This text explores the intersection of music and Hellenism in 19th-century Germany. It shows how productions such as that of the Prussian court of Sophocles' Antigone with music by Felix Mendelssohn reflect an effort by the rulers who commissioned them to appropriate the legacy of Greece for the creation of a German cultural and national identity.

New methods are needed to do justice to Shakespeare. His work exceeds conventional models, past or present, for understanding playworlds. In this book, Simon Palfrey goes right to the heart of early modern popular drama, recovering both how it works and why it matters. Unlike his contemporaries, Shakespeare gives independent life to all of his instruments, and to every fraction and fragment of the plays. Palfrey terms these particles "formactions" - theatre-specific forms that move with their own action and passion. Palfrey's book is critically daring both in substance and format. It unique mix of imaginative gusto, thought-experiments, and virtuosic technique generates piercing close readings of the plays. There is far more to playlife than meets the eye. Influenced by Leibniz's visionary original model of possible worlds, this book opens up the multiple worlds of Shakespeare's language, scenes and characters as never before.
