This book delves into the history of English theatre in Paris, shedding light on the transformative period between 1820 and 1830 when attempts were made to introduce Shakespeare's works to French audiences.

The author analyzes the critical reception of performances by English actors in Paris, exploring the challenges they faced in overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers.
