La représentation du régicide dans le théâtre d’actualité au début du xviie siècleEntre mise en scène et distance, une stratégie de légitimation monarchique
Abstract:At the turn of the xvith and xviith century, Jacques de Fonteny and Claude Billard choose the regicides of Henry III and Henry IV as theatrical subjects. Putting on stage this sensitive topic the two playwrights naturally have to adopt a position of distance towards this scandalous event. Their choices, however, nevertheless mirror their own artistic and political strategies in representing the unrepresentable: the murder of the royal body.
