French Visual Culture and the Making of Medieval Theater revives what was unique, strange, and exciting about the variety of performances that took place in the realms of the French kings and Burgundian dukes. Weigert brings together a wealth of visual artifacts to explore this tradition of late medieval performance.
Introduction: from theatricality to theater; 1. 'Vocamus personagias': the enlivened figures of ephemeral stagings; 2. 'Ouvrez vos yeux et regardez': illuminated passion plays and the commemoration of performance; 3. 'Faire semblant': make-believe and the experience of heroic battles; 4. 'Cy s'ensuit le mystere': creating a spectator and a reader of French plays; 5. 'C'etait qu'un jeu industrieux': artifice and authenticity in the devil's play; Conclusion: mysterious ends, 1548-77.
