Drawing on over 150,000 pages of archival material and hundreds of manuscripts, this is the very first book-length study of theatre censorship in France - both in Paris and the provinces - between the end of the Ancien Régime and the Restoration. Clare Siviter explores the period through the lenses of both traditional bureaucratic notions of censorship and the novel concept of 'lateral censorship', which encompasses a far greater cast of participants, including authors, theatres, critics and audiences. Applying this dual methodology to three key topics - religion, mœurs, and government - she complicates political continuities and ruptures between regimes and questions how effectively theatre censorship worked in practice. By giving a voice back to individual French men and women not often recorded in print, Siviter shows how theatre censorship allowed contemporaries to shape the world around them and how they used theatre to promote or oppose the state, even at its most authoritarian.

Celebrity Across the Channel, 1750-1850 is the first book to study and compare the concept of celebrity in France and Britain from 1750 to 1850 as the two countries transformed into the states we recognize today. It offers a transnational perspective by placing in dialogue the growing fields of celebrity studies in the two countries, especially by engaging with Antoine Lilti’s seminal work, The Invention of Celebrity, translated into English in 2017. With contributions from a diverse range of scholarly cultures, the volume has a firmly interdisciplinary scope over the time period 1750 to 1850, which was an era marked by social, political, and cultural upheaval. Bringing together the fields of history, politics, literature, theater studies, and musicology, the volume employs a firmly interdisciplinary scope to explore an era marked by social, political, and cultural upheaval. The organization of the collection allows for new readings of the similarities and differences in the understanding of celebrity in Britain and France. Consequently, the volume builds upon the questions that are currently at the heart of celebrity studies.

Napoleon’s biographers often note his fondness for theatre, but as we approach the bicentenary of the Emperor’s death, little remains known about the nature of theatre at the time. This is particularly the case for tragedy, the genre in which France considered itself to surpass its neighbours.Based on extensive archival research, this first sustained study of tragedy under Napoleon examines how a variety of agents used tragedy and its rewriting of history to make an impact on French politics, culture and society, and to help reconstruct the French nation after the Revolution. This volume covers not just Napoleon’s efforts, but also those of other individuals in government, the theatrical world, and the wider population. Similarly, it uncovers a public demand for tragedy, be it the return of Corneille, Racine, and Voltaire to the Comédie-Française, or new hits like Les Templiers (1805) and Hector (1809).This research also sheds new light on Napoleonic propaganda and censorship, exposing their incoherencies and illustrating how audiences reacted to these processes. In short, Tragedy and Nation in the Age of Napoleon argues that Napoleonic tragedy was not simply tired and derivative; it engaged its audiences, by chomping at the poetic bit, allowing for a retrial of the Revolution, and offering a vision of the new French nation.
