Les Miroirs de Thalie Le théâtre sur le théâtre et la Comédie-Française (1680-1762)

“Theater about theater,” the process by which the theater is explicitly taken up as object, experiences a vogue in France that was without equal between 1680 and 1762. Principally consisting of minor genres, this repertoire appears to be quite characteristic of the dramatic production of this period, especially at the Comédie-Française.
