Relations between theatre and state were seldom more fraught in France than in the latter part of the eighteenth and during the nineteenth century. The unique attraction of the theatre, the sole source of mass entertainment over the period, accounts in part for this: successive governments could not ignore these large nightly gatherings, viewing them with distrust and attempting to control them by every kind of device, from censorship of plays to the licensing of playhouses. In his illuminating study, F. W. J. Hemmings traces the vicissitudes of this perennial conflict, which began with the rise of the small independent boulevard theatres in the 1760s and eventually petered out in 1905 with the abandonment of censorship by the state. There are separate chapters on the provincial theatre, while the French Revolution is given particularly detailed attention. This work, complementing his earlier book The Theatre Industry in Nineteenth-Century France, will be of interest to students of theatre history, French studies and European culture in general.

The Stage and Social Struggle in Early Modern England is a ground-breaking study of a controversial period of English literary, cultural, and political history. In language that is both lucid and theoretically sophisticated, Jean Howard examines the social and cultural facets of early modern theatre. She looks at the ways in which some theatrical practices were deemed deceptive and unreliable, while others were lent legitimacy by the powerful. An exciting and challenging work by one of the leading writers in the field, The Stage and Social Conflict in Early Modern England is important reading for anyone interested in the period.

L'explosion soudaine de voix féminines qui caractérise le spectacle contemporain nous invite à réfléchir à des modes de discours qui, loin d'être nécessairement révolutionnaires, restent complémentaires des voix antérieures. Diverses sont les approches, comme le sont encore les problématiques, soulignant à l'envi le caractère pluridisciplinaire de notre entreprise, la présence de voix de femmes là où on ne les attend guère. "Les voix du spectacle vivant" prolongent les échos vibrants de voix chères venues d'ailleurs, venues de loin ; inflexions de tendresse, d'amitié, de pugnacité, d'intolérance aussi.
