STAGING POLEMICS: CHARLES PALISSOT, VOLTAIRE, AND THE “THEATRICAL EVENT” IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In The Department of French Studies by Logan James Connors B.A., University of Rhode Island 2004 M.A., Louisiana State University 2006 May 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is a result of the countless hours of help that I have received from my committee, colleagues, friends, and family. Thank you all so much for your unconditional support. Over the last few years, I have received advice and counsel from both sides of the Atlantic. At the University of Rhode Island, I want to extend my thanks to Professors Lars Erickson and Alain-Philippe Durand for being excellent teachers, and encouraging me to pursue graduate studies in French literature. In Baton Rouge, I would like to thank Dr. Katharine Jensen for agreeing to direct my dissertation. She has been an invaluable resource on eighteenth-century French society and literature. But most of all, over the past six years, Kate has gone through dozens of red pens, cutting and ripping apart my awkward, adjective-ridden prose. She has read every section of this dissertation with a keen eye, and she—more than anybody else—has helped me develop as a writer. I would also like to thank Dr. Alexandre Leupin, my Comparative Literature Minor chair. His seminars on psychoanalytic theory and Proust have helped me uncover some of the psychological power of literature and theatrical performance. In addition, I am grateful to Dr. Jack Yeager, especially for helping me hone critical reading skills in my first graduate seminar during the fall of 2004. Thanks as well to fellow Lyonophile, Dr. Rosemary Peters, for agreeing to help me with my research and writing at a very late stage. I would also like to thank some current and former students in the Department of French Studies at LSU for good times and rewarding discussions: Melanie Hackney, Mark Huntsman, Mike Bierschenk, Carole Salmon, Lori Knox, Oana Cimpean, and Carla ii Bota. Major thanks to the whiffle ball team: Tom Halloran, Steve Wallace, and Jeremy Aiken. And a very special thank you to Rachel Spear, Marianne Bessy, Steven Osborn, Lauren Guignard, Steven Primeaux, Steven Shuster, Rachel Loeher, and Terri Schroth for their warm friendship. In Fall 2007, I moved to Lyon, France. Since then, I have been helped both personally and professionally by a group of dedicated friends and scholars. First of all, I am sincerely indebted to my former advisor, Prof. Bernard Cerquiglini. As his research assistant, I was introduced to the exciting world of philology and language polemics. I hope to one day possess even a fraction of his intellectual energy and sheer love to teach. I want to also express my gratitude to Professors Pierre Frantz and Sophie Marchand at the Université de Paris—Sorbonne. Their guidance, erudition, and acute knowledge of Parisian libraries helped me during the primary research stages of this dissertation. A special thanks as well to Prof. Olivier Ferret, Prof. Anne-Marie Mercier-Faivre, and the entire équipe at the CNRS LIRE group at the Université de Lyon II. Thank you as well to Prof. Véronique Rancurel at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon for being an understanding and accommodating supervisor during my two years in her department. Thank you to my friends in Lyon and Paris: Hélène Windish, Mathieu Parenti, Davide Sosso, Chiara Steffan, Clément Erhard, and Zsusza Kis. I would also like to thank two very special people in Lyon. Firstly, I am extremely grateful towards Simon Harrison, the world’s best roommate, friend, colleague, co- worker, research partner, and drinking buddy. We’ve come a long way since we tried to put two people on one Vélov’ at three o’clock in the morning after a soirée on the péniches. I look forward to a long, creative professional and personal relationship with iii you. Secondly, I would like to thank Elise Palanchon, the only girl who was ever crazy enough to share an apartment with me. In all seriousness, your love, dedication, and tartes tatins are the reasons why I wake up happy every day. Lastly, I would like to thank Don, Alison, and Quinn Connors—the original Francophiles, and to whom this dissertation is dedicated. Thanks for all of the wonderful trips to France and Louisiana. I do what I do now because of you. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………..…….…ii ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………….…………….vi INTRODUCTION TEXTS, PERFORMANCES, AND SPECTATORS IN SEVENTEENTH- AND EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE…………………..……………………………….……..1 CHAPTER ONE CHARLES PALISSOT’S LES PHILOSOPHES………….…….32 CHAPTER TWO VOLTAIRE’S L’ECOSSAISE…………………………..……….88 CHAPTER THREE THE CRITICAL CONTINUATION OF THE PALISSOT/VOLTAIRE AFFAIR……………………..………147 CHAPTER FOUR THE “THEATRICAL EVENT” IN FRANCE FROM 1760- 1789……………………………………………………………..201 CONCLUSION VOLTAIRE, “LE CRI PUBLIC,” AND THE INTERNET………………………………………..……………228 WORKS CITED………………………………………………..…………………...….236 VITA…………………………………………………………..…………………….….248 v ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the exciting world of eighteenth-century French dramatic writing, performance and criticism from the point of view of the theatrical spectator. Instead of focusing on one single genre or writer, I assemble the textual creation, performance, and criticism of certain “polemical” plays into what I term a “theatrical event.” This optic provides a holistic vision of theater and an accurate view of how drama underwent noticeable change due to playwrights’ political associations, public reactions to performance, and the emerging power of the periodical press. In sum, this project differs from previous studies by focusing on the increasing rhetorical and tangible significance of the theatrical spectator, and more specifically, on how he or she altered normative, established processes in dramatic writing, performance, and criticism. In the first three chapters of this dissertation, I closely examine Charles Palissot’s Les Philosophes, Voltaire’s L’Ecossaise (1760), and atypical critical reactions to both polemical comedies. Here, I focus on the way partisan dramatists and their cohorts fashioned “theatrical events” through pre-performance strategies, narrative effects, and performative ruses. Then, I inquire as to why critics emphasized audience reactions to and participation in performance, rather than summarizing the play’s narrative or weighing in on traditional literary subjects. Switching gears from a more synchronic study to a more diachronic analysis, in chapter four, I highlight a few “theatrical events” from the last years of the Ancien Regime in order to show how playwrights and critics borrowed both processes and themes from the original Palissot/Voltaire affair of 1760. With clear pictures of specific moments and more general shifts in theater history and criticism, this dissertation aims to vi reassess the way we think about dramatic production during the pre-Revolutionary period in France. vii INTRODUCTION: TEXTS, PERFORMANCES, AND SPECTATORS IN SEVENTEENTH- AND EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE Theater, Politics, and Society: Texts and the “Theatron” In this study, I will investigate the dynamic world of theatrical production during the late Enlightenment in France. As the Ancien Regime accelerated into the throes of Revolution, emerging citizens questioned traditional institutions and ultimately closed the political gap between themselves and their leaders. Whether or not citizens ever achieved the egalitarian desires that Revolutionary texts advocate is debatable. Nevertheless, notions of representation and the place of the individual in society changed from 1750 to 1793, and premonitions of this change found their way to the stage, though not in a clear, linear manner. Theater was an important social event during the eighteenth century, and by analyzing how theater operated during this time, I hope to paint a picture of how some aspects of society worked as well. In his recent monograph on theatricality, Samuel Weber argues that theater, unlike painting, music or novels, may best occupy “an uneasy position between ‘art’ and ‘entertainment,’ [or] between discovery and manipulation…” (30). In this study, I hope to bring to light this interstitial zone between “art” and “entertainment,” or, between the artist’s aesthetic concerns and his or her desire to create a social event. Theater, because of

NATIONALISM IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION OF 1789 by Kiley Bickford A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for a Degree with Honors (History) The Honors College University of Maine May 2014 Advisory Committee: Richard Blanke, Professor of History Alexander Grab, Adelaide & Alan Bird Professor of History Angela Haas, Visiting Assistant Professor of History Raymond Pelletier, Associate Professor of French, Emeritus Chris Mares, Director of the Intensive English Institute, Honors College Copyright 2014 by Kiley Bickford All rights reserved. Abstract The French Revolution of 1789 was instrumental in the emergence and growth of modern nationalism, the idea that a state should represent, and serve the interests of, a people, or "nation," that shares a common culture and history and feels as one. But national ideas, often with their source in the otherwise cosmopolitan world of the Enlightenment, were also an important cause of the Revolution itself. The rhetoric and documents of the Revolution demonstrate the importance of national ideas.

  • MARRIAGE Copy.Pages
    QUOTES ON MARRIAGE Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark. —N’tima Preusser MARRIAGE BOX Most people get married believing a myth that marriage is a beautiful box full of all the things they have longed for: companionship, intimacy, friendship etc. The truth is that marriage at the start is an empty box. You must put something in before you can take anything out. There is no love in marriage. Love is in people. And people put love in marriage. There is no romance in marriage. You have to infuse it into your marriage. A couple must learn the art and form the habit of giving, loving, serving, praising, of keeping the box full. If you take out more than you put in, the box will be empty. —Unknown The young man who wants to marry happily should pick out a good mother and marry one of her daughters—any one will do.

Questions sur l’Encyclopédie, article « Livres » Voltaire est l’homme du livre par excellence, sans doute le premier à avoir su tirer parti de la nouvelle puissance de communication et de diffusion du livre et sans doute un des derniers à avoir pu s’imposer comme seul maître d’œuvre du livre, sans devoir partager ses prérogatives intellectuelles avec un quelconque éditeur. Il a travaillé toute sa vie et avec une intensité croissante à s’adresser directement au public, sans se soumettre aux contraintes du régime légal et aux pratiques du monde du livre. Dans un combat de tous les instants, il a imposé, contre la censure, contre les intérêts des libraires et contre les usages de la pro- fession, son livre, pensé jusque dans le détail de sa typographie, travaillé jusqu’au dernier moment et constamment corrigé. Ce premier volume, qui inaugure la collection Publications de la Société Voltaire, a l’am- bition de réunir les éléments nécessaires pour observer et penser ce rapport singulier de Voltaire au livre.
