of their patronage. In the sixth chapter, Watanabe-O’Kelly concentrates on Dresden thcater during the seventeenth century in its various manifestations: French ballet de c o w (a mixed genre, comprising music, dance, poetry, and painted sets), the traveling troupes of foreign and German actors that performed various melodramas at court and drew on themes or works from the English and French htage, and the earliest German-language versions of Italian-style opera. Throughout three decades of rule, Johann Georg I1 presented-by means of commissionetl books, festival presentations, fireworks displays, and architectural projects-a public iconography as ruler that drew on images as disparate as St. George, ancient Greek mythic heroes (Jason and Hercules), irnd the English chivalrous order of the Garter. The message imparted by such propaganda, as detailed in the fifth chapter, stressed both the elector’s quasi-royal political stature iintl his pre-eminent position within the Albertine ruling family. Finally, the seventh chapter provides a detailed investigation of the “Saxon Hercules,” August the Strong. Watanabe-O’Kelly characterizes his engagerncnt in European politics, his state administration, and his encouragement of industry, not so much as revolutionary innovations but instead as the energetic and consequent pursuit of family traditions. Topics here include the elaboration of court festivals; the effects on Saxon Lutheran identity of August’s conversion to Catholicism; French influences on Dresden theater, architecture, and court practices; the ruler’s reorganization of the Kuristkammer and other collections into modern-style museums and galleries; and the serendipitous establishn i c n d u e to August’s alchemical interests and Saxon mining expertise-of the Meissen porcclain (Dresden chinaware) industry. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and research scholars will profit from Watanabe-O’Kelly’s analysis of the unique cultural synthesis offered at the early modem Dresden court.
