Digital Humanities—Ways Forward; Future Challenges
Have digital tools and methods accelerated the rate of scholarly production over the last 20 years? If so, has this acceleration been beneficial for scholarship? This article considers examples of accelerated historical scholarship as well as calls for a “slow history.” Through an analysis of the author's own experiences with the digital humanities, it examines the advantages and disadvantages of digital technologies in the field of history. It c…

The Contested Parterre
In the playhouses of eighteenth-century France, clerks and students, soldiers and merchants, and the occasional aristocrat stood in the pit, while the majority of the elite sat in loges. These denizens of the parterre, who accounted for up to two-thirds of the audience, were given to disruptive behavior that culminated in full-scale riots in the last years before the Revolution. Offering a commoner's eye view of the drama offstage, this fascinati…
La Reine Boit
La Reine Boit! Print, Performance, and Theater Publics in France, 1724–1725 Jeffrey S. Ravel (bio) Introduction French playwrights at the outset of the reign of Louis XV encountered more militant theater audiences than their classical predecessors had in the early years of the reign of Louis XIV. Take the testimony of the Abbé Pellegrin, whose play The Divorce of Love and Reason failed on the stage of the Comédie-Française after five performances…
Actress to Activist
In his Paradoxe sur le comédien , written around 1770 but not published until the nineteenth century, the French philosophe Denis Diderot argued that the great actors of his day suppressed their individuality onstage; rather than personally experiencing the emotions called for by the playwright, they denied their own private subjectivity in order to create a more seamless public illusion. By an act of self-effacement, therefore, they paradoxicall…
Seating the Public
A surprising contradiction existed in the two most prestigious Parisian theaters at the beginning of the final decade of the Old Regime. While the performers of the Comedie-Fransaise and the Comedie-Italienne staged spectacles that were subsequently read and discussed throughout cosmopolitan Europe, over half the audience members at any given performance in their theaters stood for three to four hours in the pit, or parterre, watching the spectac…
