SUMMARY

Primarily meant to host studies about the drama of the English - and European - Renaissance, as well as the culture in which it is rooted, the «THETA» series aims to be a forum for exchange and debate. The articles in this volume, which derive from the Seventh Round Table on Tudor Drama held at Tours in 1997, develop theoretical as well as historical ideas in the context of dramatic allegory. Through consideration of problems of staging, they also highlight the dramatic possibilities and effects that performance elicits from the use of such highly popular allegorical devices. The contributions are arranged in roughly chronological order of the plays treated. They emphasize the durability and diversity as well as the ambiguities of the allegorical technique, and give an insight into the difficulty of forcing it into a narrow definition. Consacrée à la publication d'études sur le thé'tre de la Renaissance européenne - et d'abord anglaise - ainsi que sur la culture qui le nourrit, la collection «THETA» se veut lieu de rencontre et de débat, accueillant sans exclusive toutes les approches. Les articles issus des Actes de la 7e Table Ronde du Thé'tre Tudor, tenue à Tours en 1997, et qui composent ce volume, développent des points de vue théoriques tout autant qu'historiques à propos de l'allégorie au thé'tre. Le recueil, à travers les problèmes de mise en scène, donne aussi leur place aux ressources et aux attraits que la représentation tire des procédés allégoriques extrêmement populaires. Suivant approximativement la chronologie des pièces traitées, les différentes contributions soulignent la longévité, la diversité de même que les ambiguïtés de la technique de l'allégorie; rendant ainsi difficile toute tentative de réduction à une fonction spécifique.Centre d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance Universite Francois Rabelais, Tours Staff is the author of 'Tudor Theatre : Allegory in the Theatre/L'Allegorie au Theatre Actes de la Table Ronde VII', published 2000 under ISBN 9783906760087 and ISBN 3906760081.
