  Focusing on actresses in France during the early modern
period, Virginia Scott examines how the stereotype of the actress has been constructed. The study then moves beyond that
stereotype to detail the reality of the personal and artistic lives of women on the French stage, from the almost
unknown Marie Ferré - who signed a contract for 12 livres a year in 1545 to perform the 'antiquailles de Rome or
other histories, moralities, farces, and acrobatics' in the provinces - to the queens of the eighteenth-century Paris
stage, whose 'adventures' have overshadowed their artistic triumphs. The book also investigates the ways in which
actresses made invaluable contributions to the development of the French theatre in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, and looks at the 'afterlives' of such women as Armande Béjart, Marquise Du Parc, Charlotte Desmares,
Adrienne Lecouvreur, and Hippolyte Clairon in biographies, plays, and films.
  
  Reviews
  "In this lively and engaging study, Virginia Scott examines the careers
of actresses in France from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, placing them firmly in their social
and artistic context. Refreshingly, she eschews anecdotal evidence, thereby providing us, perhaps for the first time,
with an unbiased and even- handed account of her subjects' lives and work, but which nonetheless explores the
fascination these first celebrities have exercised on audiences and critics both then and since."-Professor Jan Clarke, Durham University
  
  "This engaging volume is highly
recommended for scholars interested in women's history in the early modern period."-SHARON
DIANE NELL,Loyola University Maryland
