The discourse on Physiognomy had an important influence and impact
on European theatrical culture at the end of the eighteenth and the
beginning of the nineteenth centuries. The book discusses the
debate about the scientific nature of Physiognomy. Starting from
the concept that Physiognomy refers to particular signs on the
face, it looks for evidence of a knowledge and awareness of this
pseudo-scientific theory. The author researches among various
acting manuals and theatrical works in English, German, French and
Italian. She points out that Physiognomy makes an appearance in
many different guises. In the so-called "physiognomical portraits",
for instance, where we find animated discussions on the passions to
be displayed, and also direct references to Johann Caspar Lavater
and his science.
