Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the emotional dynamics in English theatre during the mid-eighteenth century, the book explores the interactions between actors like David Garrick and Sarah Siddons and their audiences. It challenges traditional views of empathy by employing practice theory and recent emotional history scholarship. The text details how actors conveyed emotions through vocal and physical expression, while audiences assessed and managed their responses. Additionally, it highlights the role of theatre spaces in facilitating these public and often political emotional exchanges.
