Relations between theatre and state were seldom more fraught in France than in the latter part of the eighteenth- and during the nineteenth-century. In his illuminating study, F. W. J. Hemmings traces the vicissitudes of this perennial conflict, which began with the rise of the small independent boulevard theatres in the 1760s and eventually petered out in 1905 with the abandonment of censorship by the state.
