An examination of the interplay of history, textuality, dramaturgy and politics in the transvestite school dramas of Daniel Casper von Lohenstein. It discusses the ideological complexity of gender, politics and learned culture in the early modern period as it emerges from these plays.
Jane Newman examines the interplay of history, textuality, dramaturgy, and politics in the transvestite school dramas of Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635-1683). The plays are based on well-known episodes from classical Roman history and were staged in Breslau by students at two all-male humanistic gymnasia. Organized exclusively around stories of such female protagonists as Agrippina, Cleopatra, Epicharis, and Sophonisbe, these productions required that the young actors cross-dress to play roles that routinely involved scenes of political intrigue, incest, seduction, torture, and threatened infanticide. In print these plays were accompanied by massive annotational apparatuses that delineate the contours of the learned universe of eastern central Europe in exacting detail.This study sheds new light on the ideological complexity of gender, politics, and learned culture in the early modern period as it emerges from these intriguing and often bizarre plays.
