Abstract

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

Abstract

'Performing Libertinism in Charles II's Court: Politics, Drama, Sexuality' examines the performative nature of Restoration libertinism by reading reports of libertine activities and texts of libertine plays within the context of the fraternization between George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, Sir Charles Sedley, Sir George Etherege, and William Wycherley. Webster argues that libertines, both real and imagined, performed traditionally secretive acts, including excessive drinking, sex, sedition, and sacrilege, in the public sphere. This eruption of the private into the public challenged a Stuart ideology that distinguished between the nation's public life and the king's and his subjects' private consciences. Although this eruption was contained by the early 1680s, the libertine performances this book analyzes nevertheless played an important part in the history of English radicalism.
