Burlesque Plays and Poems: With an Introduction (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of burlesques from jesting tales told in the 14th century to the extravagant parodies of the 17th century Restoration era. The author discusses how burlesques mocked the social and literary norms of their time, such as Chaucer's "Rime of Sir Thopas" gently poking fun at long-winded storytellers. The book also explores the influence of Italian and French farces on the development of English burlesque, and highlights significant burlesque works such as Beaumont and Fletcher's "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," which satirizes the heroic plays of the time. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the role of burlesque in shaping literary and theatrical landscapes, demonstrating its enduring power to critique and entertain audiences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330309452_0
