Sommario/riassunto

In 1660 the four nations of the British Isles were governed by one



imperial crown but by three parliaments. The abolition of the Scottish and Irish Parliaments in 1707 and 1800 created a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland centred upon the Westminster legislature. What did the making of the monolith mean for the four nations? Did conceptions of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh identities flourish, change or wither as a consequence to the growth of the imperial Parliament and to what extent did Parliament help or hinder a developing sense of Britishness as a new nationality? The groundbreaking essays in this volume, all based on extensive original research, address these questions from an unusually wide variety of perspectives, showing how the parliaments at Dublin, Edinburgh and, especially, Westminster, were seen and used in very different ways by people from very different communities. Parliament may have been conceived as a repository of 'the' national interest, but in practice it was the site of four national and multiple cross-national identities. This fascinating book is a major contribution to the history of the forging of the United Kingdom and national identity and will be essential reading for all undergraduates of history and politics.

Sommario/riassunto

Le théâtre, la musique et la danse, trois disciplines fondamentales dans l’éducation de la noblesse d’Ancien Régime, participaient, dans les collèges français, à l’élaboration de spectacles conçus pour les jeunes gens autant que pour un public avide de divertissement. La scène des collèges s’impose comme l’un des premiers lieux de création dramatique des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Pourtant, ce répertoire, qui souffre de la disparition de nombreuses sources, est encore rarement appréhendé dans sa dimension spectaculaire. Ce théâtre hybride, souvent farci d’intermèdes chantés ou dansés, se présente comme un objet protéiforme, qui appelle une approche pluridisciplinaire. L’un des atouts de cet ouvrage repose précisément sur la réunion de chercheurs confirmés de disciplines complémentaires, puisqu’il réunit des spécialistes de littérature française, néo-latine ou encore germanique, des historiens de la musique, de la philosophie, de la danse, de la scène et des arts du spectacle, et de littérature comparée.
