The group volume distinguishes itself by its multidisciplinary,
comparative approach and by the network of relationships it weaves
between the various European languages and cultures. The study
takes shape from its different viewpoints and in its diverse
contexts, to chart a detailed historical-conceptual map of the
basic role theater played in forging the modern European
consciousness. The thematic core of ‘theatermania’ lay in the
authentic theatrical passion that manifested itself in different
ways from one country to another throughout the 18th century. While
the aesthetic, social and political value of theater took a variety
of forms, its central feature was the privileged place it gave to
collective and individual social revolutions, phenomena that could
be defined as upheavals of the collective imagination, which found
in theater a source of nourishment, mediation or control. The
volume offers not just a series of historical-theatrical studies,
but a view of history that foregrounds the passions that were
regularly sparked by theater. It adds an essential feature to the
profile of the century that redefined the role and importance of
theater, and that led to its full re-evaluation in the Romantic
age.
