This 1993 book explores the history of French theatre in the
nineteenth century through its special role as an organized popular
entertainment. Traditionally regarded as an elite art form, in
post-Revolutionary France the stage began to be seen as an industry
like any other and the theatre became one of the few areas of
employment where women were in demand as much as men. The
increasingly commercial ethos dominating the stage led to the mass
production of plays with audience appeal, resulting in an
inevitable dilution of literary standards. In this lively account,
Hemmings examines how the theatre world flourished and evolved, and
reveals such matters as the difficult life of the actress, salaries
and contracts, and the profession of the playwright.
