{"product_id":"theaters-of-error-pascale-lafountain-9783319766317","title":"Theaters of Error: Problems of Performance in German and French Enlightenment Theater","description":"This book offers provocative readings of canonical Enlightenment dramas that reflect and shape the period's changing understanding of error. With striking interdisciplinary connections to theater treatises as well as works from the philosophical, legal, and medical discourses, it tracks the relocation of error from the moral to the physical realm, a movement that begins with Lessing and continues through the turn of the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing detailed analyses of Lessing's \u003ci\u003eMi  Sara Sampson\u003c\/i\u003e, Diderot's \u003ci\u003eLe Fils naturel\u003c\/i\u003e, Schiller's \u003ci\u003eDie Räuber\u003c\/i\u003e, and Kleist's \u003ci\u003eDie Familie Schroffenstein\u003c\/i\u003e alongside rich close readings of diverse primary sources, ranging from previously untranslated acting treatises by Sainte-Albine and Engel to texts from the German \u003ci\u003eArchiv des Criminalrechts\u003c\/i\u003e, this study introduces the reader to new Enlightenment sources and compellingly concludes that ultimately it is no longer evil, but rather bodily irregularities and mistakes in reading the body that become the driving principle of Enlightenment drama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pascale Lafountain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319766317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319766317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Pascale Lafountain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089107169535,"sku":"9783319766317","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_baecb7ae-286f-4690-8c21-108404ca0cd0.jpg?v=1769108225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theaters-of-error-pascale-lafountain-9783319766317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
