Zustand: Gut. X., 348 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht bestoßen u…nd berieben, kleiner Einriß Cover vorn oben, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly scuffed and rubbed, small tear cover top front, otherwise perfect condition - In Henry V, Shakespeare describes a royal performancewith princes to act and monarchs to behold the swelling scenethat would have been impossible in Englands public theaters. Such was not the case in court theaters, however, where monarchs sponsored and participated in a wide range of theatrical activities. The close association between monarch and actor, kingdom and stage, was no noveltie to Castiglione, who warned that princes who act would run the risk of never being taken seriously. A conspicuous example was Swedens Gustav III, who wrote, acted in, and personally supervised the production of playsand was murdered, in costume, at a masked ball. -- In Princes to Act, Matthew Wikander explores royal court performance from the Renaissance to the late eighteenth century, when plays with monarchs as characters were typically performed before royal audiences. Focusing on the courts of Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I of England, Louis XIV and Louis XV of France, and Gustav III of Sweden, Wikander finds that the close and complex relationships betwegn professional theaters and royal patrons infused imperial politics with irony and theatricalityas actors and audiences learned the secret that playing the king and being the king were surprisingly similar. -- Princes to Act describes how theater and monarchy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries existed in mutual dependency and mutual mistrust, leading to performances that both affirmed and challenged the social boundaries between monarch and actor, audience and performer. Treating each dramatic work both as script for a specific occasion and as a literary text that outlives performance, Wikander explores selected plays by Shakespeare, Davenant, Corneille, Molière, Racine, Voltaire, and others. Transformations in the political institution of the monarchy, he concludes, were anticipated and imitated in the dramas of the age. At the beginning of the period, the people kept their eyes on the monarch. By the end of the period, the monarch would need to keep his eye on the people. Moving beyond new historicist criticism, this imaginative study stresses the complexity and persistence of theatrical art beyond the conditions of its original performance.
