La France Sauvée ou le Tyran Détrôné : A Dramaturgical Casebook

Abstract

This digital humanities project is an example of a digital dramaturgical casebook for the play, La France Sauvée, ou le Tyran Détrôné (France Preserved, or the Tyrant Dethroned, 1792). The dramaturgical casebook includes a master copy of the script as well as contextual/historical research pertaining to the playwright, characters in the play, and costume and set design. There is also a bibliography of sources. The purpose of the project is to provide a model for the kind of engagement drama faculty and students can have with a text in the digital realm either as part of a class or a production.
