Representation and performance in the eighteenth century

Meer over het boek

The first volume in the LAPASEC series features essays on representation and performance, crucial themes in Enlightenment debates. Contributions come from established and emerging scholars across North America, Europe, and Australia, creating an international and interdisciplinary platform that spans art history, literary criticism, history, philosophy, drama, and musicology. This collection emphasizes aesthetics and ideologies over topical subjects. The essays were selected from the best contributions at the Landau symposia held in 2003 and 2005, organized by Frédéric Ogée and Peter Wagner. Future volumes will include papers from conferences in Paris on ruins (2004) and the sketch (2006). Peter Wagner is a Professor of English and American Literature at the Universität Koblenz-Landau, with publications on figures like William Hogarth and Jonathan Swift, as well as on image-text relations. Frédéric Ogée, a Professor of English Literature at the University of Paris 7 – Denis Diderot, has written extensively on eighteenth-century literature and art, and has edited several collections on Hogarth and the circulation of ideas between England and France in the period.
