Originally published in 2000, this book highlights the interst
Sedaine's life and work is now, belatedly, provoking in many
scholarly disciplines. If Sedaine speaks today to literary history,
theatre history and opera studies, it is because he possessed a
multivalent vision, one which accounts for both his past neglect
and is present rediscovery. Like many others, he believed that the
established, 'official' genres needed to be reformed; unlike many,
he made it his business to transform the actual language and
operation of the theatre arts he practised. Until late
eighteenth-century opera and drama in France become better
understood, Sedaine's immense importance for the development of
Romantic opera and theatre risks remaining generally concealed; to
reveal something of this importance is one main reason for
publishing the present volume. This book includes chapters on
Sedaine and the question of genre, the representation of the female
in the dramas of Sedaine, and the words, gestures and other signs
in the era of Sedaine.
