Linguistic' theories in the eighteenth-century are also theories of literature and art, and it is probably better, therefore, to think of them as 'aesthetic' theories. As such, they are answers to the age-old question 'what is beauty?', but formulated, also, to respond to contemporary concerns. Edward Nye considers a wide range of authors from these two perspectives and draws the following conclusions: etymology is a theory of poetry, dictionaries of synonymy, prosody and metaphor are theories of preciosity, and Sensualism is a theory of artistic representation. The background to these contentions is outlined in Chapter One, in which Edward Nye traces the rise of the term 'nuances' as an attempt by contemporary authors to understand representation in art as a rationalization of chaotic reality. The demise of these contentions at the end of the century is described in the last chapter, in which the dominant language theory of the day, idéologie, is shown to be antagonistic to the study of art and literature. Theories of language are no longer an answer to the question 'what is beauty?'

This volume analyses the nature of the mime art of Deburau and of the pantomime performances of the Théâtre des Funambules in Paris in the context of Romantic art, literature and socio-political thought. Deburau and the Théâtre des Funambules are characteristic of Romantic art in that they are closely associated with certain aspirations for social reform, even revolution. Deburau was an iconic figure for intellectuals such as George Sand who effectively considered him to be part of the ‘poète-maçon’ movement. Edward Nye examines this fascination as well as the myth which developed from it. With its unique framing in art, literature and politics, this book is a must read for undergraduates and postgraduates in theatre, literary studies and the Romantic period.

Mime, Music and Drama on the Eighteenth-Century Stage

The Ballet d'Action

The 'ballet d'action' was one of the most successful and controversial forms of theatre in the early modern period. A curious hybrid of dance, mime and music, its overall and overriding intention was to create drama. It was danced drama rather than dramatic dance, musical drama rather than dramatic music. Most modern critical studies of the ballet d'action treat it more narrowly as stage dance and very few view it as part of the history of mime. Little use has previously been made of the most revealing musical evidence. This innovative book does justice to the distinctive hybrid nature of the ballet d'action by taking a comparative approach, using contemporary literature and literary criticism, music, mime and dance from a wide range of English and European sources. Edward Nye presents a fascinating study of this important and influential part of eighteenth-century European theatre.

La danse a inspiré la littérature, et la littérature a inspiré la danse. Mais comment fonctionne exactement l’articulation entre les deux, et quelles sont les conséquences de leur réciprocité ? Cet ouvrage analyse ce lien depuis la Renaissance jusqu’à l’époque moderne, de d’Aubigné à Francis Ponge, de la danse macabre à la théorie de Laban. La relation entre danse et littérature est variable : parfois elle se fonde sur un principe esthétique, parfois sur un principe thématique, ou bien sociologique. Quelque soit la nature de ce rapport, ce livre démontre qu’il est durable et riche de sens. Les moyens d’expression de la danse et de la littérature sont radicalement différents, aussi éloignés les uns des autres que l’on puisse imaginer. Entre l’abstraction du langage et la matérialité du corps, le fossé paraît infranchissable. Ceci n’est qu’apparence. Mots et mouvements se complètent, les uns aidant à la compréhension des autres. Ce livre relate le désir à travers les siècles d’explorer cette inspiration mutuelle.
