Description
Addresses both the history of French neoclassical tragedy - its audiences, performance practice, and development as a genre - and the ideas these works raise, such as necessity, free will, desire, power, and moral behaviour in the face of limited choices.
An invaluable resource for teachers bringing French neoclassical theater to the classroom, this book contains excellent, concrete suggestions for activities that encourage student engagement and communication." - Roland Racevskis, University of Iowa
