Adulterous Alliances
Home, State, and History in Early Modern European Drama and Painting
by Richard Helgerson
"Shakespeare, Vermeer, Lope de Vega, Moliere, and Diderot don't usually keep company with one another. This new book - Richard Helgerson's first since the highly acclaimed Forms of Nationhood - shows that each contributed to a common project of enormous significance: the artistic promotion of the middle-class home. In a study that stretches over two centuries and four countries, Helgerson unearths the shared preoccupations of European domestic drama and painting.
The result is an unexpected prehistory of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century cult of domesticity."--BOOK JACKET.
