1. 1. The Antitheatrical Prejudice

   

   A sweeping intellectual history of hostility to theater, tracing arguments against performance from Plato and early Christian writers through Puritans, Enlightenment moralists, and modern critics. It explores fears of mimesis, deception, immorality, effeminacy, idleness, and social disorder, and contrasts them with defenses of the stage, revealing how debates over acting and spectatorship mirror deeper cultural anxieties about representation, authenticity, and civic virtue.
