Informationen zum Autor Gregory Brown Klappentext Gregory S. Brown's A Field of Honor: The Identities of Writers! Court Culture and Public Theater in the French Intellectual Field from Racine to the Revolution offers a multilevel study of the intellectual! social! and institutional contexts of dramatic authorship and the world of playwrights in 18th-century Paris. Brown deftly interweaves research in archival and printed materials! case studies of individual authorial strategies! the rich! often contentious historiography on the French Enlightenment and contemporary cultural theory and criticism. Drawing on a sophisticated array of recent studies! Brown positions his work against and between the grain of alternative approaches and interpretations. He combines scholarship on the history of the book with analyses of political culture and cultural identity! leaving the reader with a strong and revealing appreciation for the tensions and crosscurrents staged at the center of the 18th-century "republic of letters." Zusammenfassung This study of eighteenth-century French playwriting and playwrights reviews individual authorial strategies for "self-fashioning" and the playwrights' intellectual! social! and institutional contexts! using research in original sources and analysis of the contentious historiography and competing analytic contructs in cultural theory and criticism.
