This Element presents new cultural, social, and economic perspectives on the eighteenth-century London masquerade through an in-depth analysis of the classic domino costume. Constructing the object biography of the domino through material, visual, and written sources will bring together various experiences of the masquerade and expand the existing geographical, chronological, and socio-economic scope of the entertainment beyond the masquerade event itself. This Element will examine the domino's physical and figurative movements from the masquerade warehouse, through eighteenth-century fashionable society, and into print and visual culture. It will draw upon masquerade warehouse records, newspapers, manuscripts, prints, and physical objects to establish a comprehensive understanding of the domino and how it reflected contemporary experiences of the real and imagined masquerade. Analysing the domino through interdisciplinary methodologies illustrates the impact material and visual sources can have on reshaping existing scholarship.

Issue d'une vieille tradition nationale fécondée à la Renaissance par des influences italiennes, la danse de fête dans la France du XVIIe siècle se déploie sous le règne du Roi Soleil. Elle prend alors les dimensions d'un prodigieux phénomène de société : c'est tout un pays, du peuple jusqu'aux palais, qui, pour oublier les rigueurs des temps ou pour célébrer la gloire des grands, est emporté par la danse. Apparenté au bal et à la mascarade de carnaval, le ballet envahit les fêtes des collèges, s'introduit dans les formes dramatiques, les métamorphose en comédies-ballets, en tragédies-ballets et même en opéras-ballets. De cet immense foisonnement, le ballet représenté à la cour n'est que la forme suprême. C'est ce phénomène que, pour la première fois, Philippe Hourcade tente ici de retracer dans toute son ampleur. Ce livre est complété de l'édition de témoignages essentiels de l'époque et enrichi des répertoires des danseurs de la cour ainsi que de tous les ballets exécutés sous Louis XIV (1643-1715).

In its conventional meaning, masquerade refers to a festive gathering of people wearing masks and elegant costumes. But traditional forms of masquerade have evolved over the past century to include the representation of alternate identities in the media and venues of popular culture, including television, film, the internet, theater, museums, sports arenas, popular magazines and a range of community celebrations, reenactments and conventions. This collection of fresh essays examines the art and function of masquerade from a broad range of perspectives. From African slave masquerade in New Worl
