In the final decade of the eighteenth century, theatre was amongst
the most important sites for redefining France's national identity.
In this study, Annelle Curulla uses a range of archival material to
show that, more than any other subject matter which was once
forbidden from the French stage, Roman Catholic religious life
provided a crucial trope for expressing theatre's patriotic mission
after 1789. Even as old rules and customs fell with the walls of
the Bastille, dramatic works by Gouges, Chenier, La Harpe, and
others depicted the cloister as a space for reimagining forms of
familial, individual, and civic belonging and exclusion. By
relating the dramatic trope of religious life to shifting concepts
of gender, family, religiosity, and nation, Curulla sheds light on
how the process of secularization played out in the cultural space
of French theatre.
