At the height of its development and up to the eighteenth century, the Spanish classical theatre significantly contributed to the formation of the modern European theatre. Theatre texts and theatrical companies were in fact circulating outside the Iberian peninsula and the Spanish experience of theatre triggered literary debates and reflections that played a central role to the cultural history of Europe, from Neoclassicism to the beginnings of Romanticism. It is a complex phenomenon crossing linguistically and culturally diversified territories, and which therefore needs an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. We tried to respond to this need by involving scholars and researchers in the fields of Hispanic, French, Italian, history of entertainment and musicology for the drafting of this volume.

Par ses thèses sur le recrutement des réguliers (hommes et femmes) et sur les rapports entre ceux-ci et la société de leur temps, en Bourgogne et en Champagne (fin 16e - fin 18e siècles), parues respectivement en 1988 (Vocation et Fidélité) et en 1999 (Religion et Société), Dominique Dinet est devenu un spécialiste reconnu d'histoire religieuse. Si plusieurs articles de ce recueil complètent ses investigations sur les moines et les moniales, qu'il a fortement remis en valeur pour la période « moderne », d'autres textes renouvellent notre connaissance du clergé séculier, des mentalités et des spiritualités religieuses (des humbles comme des élites), de la culture et des institutions ecclésiastiques, de leurs rapports à l'État et à la société d'Ancien Régime, marquée par une liaison étroite entre le civil et le religieux. De la sorte, dans une démarche qui est toujours celle de l'historien, nous sommes bien « Au cœur religieux de l'époque moderne », comme l'avait envisagé Lucien Febvre pour le xvie siècle.

Originally published in 1963. Molière's plays rank among the great comic achievements in the history of the stage. Yet few attempts have been made to understand them as expressing the historical context of the author's time. Most frequently they have been interpreted from the point of view of purely literary history, while the characters have been seen as universal comic types. Lionel Gossman reappraises Molière's comedy in the light of historical experience and interprets it in terms of the conditions from which it emerged. He brings it into the mainstream of seventeenth-century French literature and shows that Molière was concerned with the same things that concerned Descartes, Corneille, Racine, or Pascal. Five comedies (Amphitryon, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, Le Tartuffe, and George Dandin) are studied in the first part of the book. A number of basic structures are found to be common to all of them, and these give the author his point of departure for the second part of the book. In the second part, Gossman examines Molière's position with respect to other major seventeenth-century French writers. The comic vision of Molière, Gossman argues, no less than the tragic vision of Pascal or of Racine, expresses a particular relation to the social structure of the time. The subject matter of Molière's comedy is thus, in the author's view, not universal human nature but the men and women of the society in which Molière lived. Indeed, Gossman goes on to argue that the development of society after Molière made it difficult, and in the end impossible, for later writers to see the world in the comic light that illuminated Molière's writing. Even in certain of Molière's own works, in fact, the comic vision shades into something close to Romantic irony.
