The team will comprise the Principal Investigator, Dr Katherine Astbury, a postdoctoral research fellow and two PhD students. In order to grasp the full complexities of the theatrical scene in the years 1799-1815, it is necessarily interdisciplinary and requires a team working together to link close textual readings to larger cultural, social and political issues. This major 4-year project, funded through a generous grant from the AHRC, aims to transform our understanding of theatre of the Napoleonic era by giving us a clearer understanding of the complex interplay of art and politics in France at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
