Toote kirjeldus: Provocative Eloquence: Theater, Violence, and Anti-Slavery Speech in the Antebellum United States

"In the mid-19th century, rhetoric surrounding slavery was permeated by violence. Slavery's defenders often used brute force to suppress opponents, and even those abolitionists dedicated to pacifism drew upon visions of widespread destruction. Provocative Eloquence recounts how the theater, long an arena for heightened eloquence and physical contest, proved terribly relevant in the lead up to the Civil War. As antislavery speech and open conflict intertwined, the nation became a stage. The book brings together notions of intertextuality and interperformativity to understand how the confluence of oratorical and theatrical practices in the antebellum period reflected the conflict over slavery and deeply influenced the language that barely contained that conflict. The book draws on a wide range of work in performance studies, theater history, black performance theory, oratorical studies, and literature and law to provide a new narrative of the interaction of oratorical, theatrical, and literary histories ofthe nineteenth-century U.S."--
The author explores the relationship between oratorical performances on theatrical stages and those at antislavery lecterns in the antebellum US, arguing that the connection between the speaker's words and actions and the speaker's ability to provoke action through eloquence makes theater essential to the antislavery movement's consideration of forceful resistance. She considers stage performances, dramatic readings, monologues, dialogues, tableaux vivant, sensation scenes, mimicry, allusion, performance metaphors, and other theatrical forms to trace the relationship between oratorical and theatrical practices in terms of new ways to resist the violence of slaveholders in the political public sphere and how antislavery eloquence impacted emancipation. She discusses the role of Edwin Forrest and a burgeoning national theatrical culture; the performances of the abolitionists William Wells Brown and Mary Webb; Harriet Beecher Stowe's Dred and its theatrical adaptations; performances of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and the role of Portia's courtroom dialogue with Shylock; and how the North's the eventual acceptance of John Brown's use of force to overturn slavery depended on theatricalized performances that combined antislavery eloquence and violence.
