Dramatis Personae Archive

"During spring semester 2006, the graduate and undergraduate students of French 4900/7900: Dramatis Personae, a seminar on early modern performance under the direction of Dr. Christine Jones, created this site. We have designed this site to be useful to researchers of theater, dance, music, French culture, and early modern history. It is an intellectual exploration of early modern performance and a unique archive of web-based resources that showcases rare books in their historical context. It serves also as a portal into the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library's Digital Collections, which includes scanned rare books, maps, newspapers, and journals in searchable format. The collection of books on dance and theater scanned under the auspices of the Dramatis Personae project is unique to Marriott Library"
