1789 a doré le citoyen d’un nouveau corps juridique, politique et social. Dans la littérature postrévolutionnaire, écrire le corps, c’est scruter les marques inscrites dans les chairs par la loi, les signes tracés par la société, les cicatrices laissées par l’Histoire. Les études réunies dans ce volume interrogent ces nouveaux paradigmes de la représentation littéraire du corps dans quatre perspectives : en premier lieu est explorée la signification politique qu’il prend chez Sade, Balzac ou dans le théâtre révolutionnaire ; est développée ensuite une analyse du difficile transfert du corps du roi, dégradé chez Michelet, au corps du peuple chez Dumas ou à celui d’un nouveau Christ chez les saint-simoniens ; en troisième lieu, l’interrogation porte sur les modalités de l’incarnation de l’Histoire chez les personnages de Chateaubriand, de Balzac ou de Barbey d’Aurevilly ; enfin est étudiée la relation entre corps et création, dans la poésie de Baudelaire ou dans l’écriture autobiographique de George Sand. Du théâtre comme espace où l’acteur incarne les rôles sociaux au roman où la corporéité ancre le personnage dans l’Histoire, ce volume montre comment la littérature du XIXe siècle a recouru au corps pour figurer les rapports, souvent conflictuels, de l’individu à la société, au politique et à l’Histoire.

Breaking new ground in the study of performance theory, this maverick and powerful project from renowned Renaissance scholar and queer theorist Simon Shepherd presents a unique take on theory and the physical reality of theatre.

Examining a range of material, Theatre, Body, Pleasure addresses a significant gap in the literary and drama studies arenas and explores the interplay of bodily value, the art of bodies and the physical responses to that art. It explains first how the body makes meaning and carries value. Then it describes the relationships between time and space and

Muscular Christianity was an important religious, literary and social movement of the mid-nineteenth century. This volume draws on recent developments in culture and gender theory to reveal ideological links between muscular Christianity and the work of novelists and essayists, including Kingsley, Emerson, Dickens, Hughes, MacDonald and Pater, and to explore the use of images of hyper-masculinized male bodies to represent social as well as physical ideals. Muscular Christianity argues that the ideologies of the movement were extreme versions of common cultural conceptions, and that anxieties evident in Muscular Christian texts, often manifested through images of the body as a site of socio-political conflict, were pervasive throughout society. Throughout, muscular Christianity is shown to be at the heart of issues of gender, class and national identity in the Victorian age.
