States of Change in Early Modern France

A proposed seminar of the American Comparative Literature Association conference

(Cambridge, MA, 17-20 March 2016)

Relief: La controverse littéraire ou l'art de la dispute

Over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, explicitly Christian forms of theater began to decline in popularity.  Rather than see this shift merely as a sign of declining popular belief, this panel seeks to investigate the way that new formal demands complicated the representation of Christian themes.
