This volume analyses the nature of the mime art of Deburau and of the pantomime performances of the Theâtre des Funambules in Paris in the context of Romantic art, literature and socio-political thought.

Deburau and the Theâtre des Funambules are characteristic of Romantic art in that they are closely associated with certain aspirations for social reform, even revolution. Deburau was an iconic figure for intellectuals such as George Sand who effectively considered him to be part of the 'poete-maçon' movement. Edward Nye examines this fascination as well as the myth which developed from it.

With its unique framing in art, literature and politics, this book is a must read for undergraduates and postgraduates in theatre, literary studies and the Romantic period.
