  • Perceptions of the Murderess in London and Paris, 1674-1789
    Perceptions of the Murderess in London and Paris, 1674-1789 Anna Clare Jenkin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History August, 2015 Thesis Summary This project is a comparative study of print about women accused of murder in eighteenth-century London and Paris. While gender played an important role in determining how such women were perceived, in that female killers stimulated forms of social introspection that male murderers did not, this thesis demonstrates that a wider variety of factors affected the kinds of women who stimulated concern among the London and Parisian populace. Most importantly, only eleven women accused of murder stimulated high levels of print reaction in the period, implying that aspects beyond their gender were behind such reactions. Through focus on the print material and judicial records of these eleven high-profile murderesses, including ballads, pamphlets, images, novels, legal tracts and printed correspondence, this thesis will expose a number of contemporary concerns present in eighteenth-century London and Paris. In both cities, perceptions of the crime of female- perpetrated murder reflected emerging concerns about the impact of urbanisation on social structures and women’s roles, alongside shifting European-wide ideas of gender difference. Murderous women’s occupations as midwives, servants, aristocrats and household managers were used to explore broader concerns about emerging sites of female independence. Discussion of cases that involved adultery, male sociability and court intrigue were used to reveal the perceived corrupting effects of urban society.

  • L'affaire Des Poisons : Les Origines Du Satanisme
    L’AFFAIRE DES POISONS : LES ORIGINES DU SATANISME par Daniel Cardinal Thèse de maîtrise présentée au département d’études anciennes et de sciences des religions de la Faculté des Arts de l’Université d’Ottawa. © Daniel Cardinal, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 Résumé L’affaire des poisons est une célèbre enquête policière qui se déroula à la fin du XVIIe siècle en France sous le règne de Louis XIV. Les rapports officiels de la police de l’époque allaient dévoiler l’implication de membres des plus hautes sphères de la société française, y compris du clergé, du parlement, de la noblesse et de l’aristocratie. Mais l’enquête fut rapidement mise sous silence lorsque le roi découvrit l’implication de son ancienne maitresse en titre, la marquise de Montespan, avec qui il avait passé neuf ans de sa vie. Le nom de la dame fut mentionné par de nombreux témoins qui l’impliquèrent dans plusieurs méfaits, dont l’achat et l’utilisation de philtres d’amour et de divers poisons. Mais pis encore, Montespan fut compromise dans des cérémonies de nature blasphématoires organisées en secret par une devineresse du nom de Catherine Montvoisin - dites la Voisin - et son complice, l’abbé Étienne Guibourg. Ces rituels allaient plus tard prendre le nom de messe noire et inspirer une nouvelle forme de religiosité qui allait prendre le nom de satanisme. À partir des éléments révélés durant l’enquête de l’affaire des poisons, le satanisme allait pour la première fois se distinguer des pratiques de la sorcellerie et de la magie rituelle et se définir en tant que système de croyances.

I THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES IN MEMORY OF EDWIN CORLE PRESENTED BY JEAN CORLE MADAME DE BRINVILLIERS MADAME DE BRINVILLIERS AND HER TIMES 1630-1676 i i BY HUGH STOKES ! ! WITH A FRONTISPIECE IN PHOTOGRAVURE AND FIFTEEN OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON JOHN LANE THE BODLEY HEAD NEW YORK JOHN LANE COMPANY MCMXII Tumbull 6f Spears, Printers, Edinburgh College Librarypc / 30 6 PREFACE " tells us that woman is un- utterably more wicked than man." If Madame de Brinvilliers could be taken as a NIETZSCHEnormal type of her sex one might be disposed to agree with the German philosopher. But Marie Marguerite d'Aubray was far from being an ordinary example of womanhood, and it is exactly that which makes her case so engrossing. Amongst the records of famous criminals the trial of this highly-born lady has always taken a prominent place. If criminology be at times a trifle morbid it is often valuable, and in this instance it enables us to follow rather closely a curiously complex society from which was evolved a mighty state. This volume is not intended to be so much a recital of the crimes of the Marquise as a picture of the lively circles in which she lived. One idea will certainly arise before the last page is reached, and the reader must guard his mind against it. It is unfortunate that the wicked people are generally more interesting than the good. There was much vice in the reign of Louis XIV., much hypocrisy, much double- dealing. We, by the way, in the twentieth century are not so virtuous that we need cast stones at the seven- teenth.

  • Theater As Machine, Theater of Machines in Seventeenth-Century France
    THEATER AS MACHINE, THEATER OF MACHINES IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE Catherine A. Viano A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Romance Studies in the Department of Romance Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Ellen R. Welch Dominique Fisher Dorothea Heitsch John D. Lyons Hassan Melehy Jessica Lynn Wolfe © 2018 Catherine A. Viano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Viano: Theater as Machine, Theater of Machines in Seventeenth-Century France (Under the direction of Ellen R. Welch) According to traditional historiography, seventeenth-century French theater is characterized by a pure, unified, classical and disciplined aesthetic known as Classicism. However, several theatrical pieces resist this Classical ideal with special effects and the use of theater machines. My dissertation examines this “spectacular aesthetic” that plays a fundamental role in theater production throughout the century. I show that theater machines were used across genres, in tragedies, comedies, tragi-comédies, comédie-ballets, ballets de cour and operas. The ubiquity of machine effects in all kinds of dramatic entertainment testifies to the power or popularity of the spectacular throughout the Classical period. This project also examines how playwrights and engineers use machines to stage powerful acts or perhaps undermine the authority behind those acts. My dissertation unfolds in three chapters, each devoted to exploring the efficacy of dramatic spectacle from aesthetic, critical and cultural early modern perspectives. By focusing on the value playwrights, machinists, and actors had for the effects theater machines produced, I will expand upon our understanding of how dramatists interpreted the range of affective responses to theater, including but not limited to Aristotle’s catharsis.
