Making Books to Form Readers
This essay examines the prolific use of woodcut images by Denis Janot, a well-known and successful sixteenth-century printer-publisher. It argues that the repetition and reuse of images both within and among books on Janot's list served as a form of branding that connected the reader not to one individual work but to the larger corpus of works produced by this industrious and skilled libraire. In this period, the book was not yet a familiar objec…

"Acting as Counteracting in Moliere's "The Impromptu of Versailles
Molibre's Impromptu of Versailles was staged in 1663 as a final answer to the ongoing polemic known today as The Quarrel of School for Wives (La Querelle de L'Ecole des femmes). It is a remarkable source of insight into Moliere's theory of theatre because it is Molibre's staged portrait of himself and his troupe preparing a performance demanded by the king on very short notice.
