Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2014.

This dissertation examines the relationship between the state, children, theater, and education in modern France. Children appeared in popular boulevard theâtres d'enfants in Paris in the 1780s. The immoral legacy of theâtres d'enfants created negative associations between theater and child performers. Yet, the theater reform debate in eighteenth-century France firmly established the view that theater served an educative function. The theâtre d'education emerged as a private solution to the potential immoral impact of public theater on children. It was significant for the eventual development of commercial children's theater in twentieth-century France because it established the notion that theater tailored to the tastes and intellectual abilities of children had the greatest impact on the child actor and the child spectator.

520 $a This dissertation examines the relationship between the state, children, theater, and education in modern France. Children appeared in popular boulevard theâtres d'enfants in Paris in the 1780s. The immoral legacy of theâtres d'enfants created negative associations between theater and child performers. Yet, the theater reform debate in eighteenth-century France firmly established the view that theater served an educative function. The theâtre d'education emerged as a private solution to the potential immoral impact of public theater on children. It was significant for the eventual development of commercial children's theater in twentieth-century France because it established the notion that theater tailored to the tastes and intellectual abilities of children had the greatest impact on the child actor and the child spectator.
520 $a This dissertation also examines representations of child performers in the French press. Child performers went from being viewed as miniature adults in the eighteenth century to "charming" children or "horrible" prodigies in the nineteenth century. Perceptions of child performers shifted as conceptions of childhood changed in modern France. By the end of the nineteenth century, observers rejected the notion of acting troupes made up of children but were still taken by child stars, because they perceived them as the natural embodiment of "childish charms.".
520 $a Child performers became a subject of concern to French legislators in the late nineteenth century. This dissertation examines parliamentary debates on legislation in 1874 and 1892 regarding child performers and ways in which legislators and the theater world tried to find a balance between maintaining the educative function of theater while protecting child performers. The 1892 law established a system of regulation for the employ of child performers. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of theater requests for permission to employ children under thirteen between 1901 and 1930 shows the 1892 law was rarely enforced. Government officials, I argue, were willing to allow the law to go unenforced because of the primacy of theater in French culture and the unique relationship between theater and the state in France.
