Mime, Music and Drama on the Eighteenth-Century Stage: The Ballet d'Action
Nye, Edward (University of Oxford)
The eighteenth-century 'ballet d'action' was innovative, moving, difficult, sometimes bizarre and often controversial. This study does justice to the distinctive hybrid nature of this theatrical form by taking a comparative approach, using contemporary literature and literary criticism, music, mime and dance from a wide range of English and European sources.
