This figure impersonated the king by asserting his judicial authority and bringing order to an otherwise chaotic world. In Passing Judgment, Helene Bilis examines how an overlooked character-type-the royal judge-remained a constant of the tragic genre throughout the 17th century, although the specifics of his role and position fluctuated as playwrights experimented with changing models of sovereignty onstage. Her readings analyze how this royal decision-maker stood at the intersection of political and theatrical debates, and evolved through a process of trial and error in which certain portrayals of kingship were deemed obsolete and were discarded, while others were promoted as culturally allowable and resonant. In tracing the royal judge's persistent presence and transformation, Bilis argues that we can better grasp the weighty political stakes of theatrical representations under the ancient regime."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aFrench drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSovereignty in literature 615 0$aFrench drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSovereignty in literature. 676 $a842.409 700 $aBilis$b Helene E., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01709316 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825742403321 996 $aPassing Judgment$94099001 997 $aUNINA
