Book excerpt: Who shall say when the spirit of burlesque first made its appearance on our stage? There were traces of it, we may be sure, in the Mysteries and Moralities of pre-Elizabethan days; the monkish dramatists were not devoid of humour, and the first lay playwrights had a rough sense of ridicule. The "Vice" which figured in so many of our rude old dramas had in him an element of satire, and the pictures drawn of his Satanic Majesty were conscious or unconscious caricatures of the popular conception of the Evil One.

Download or read book Blockbusters of Victorian Theater, 1850-1910 written by Paul Fryer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection of essays details a wide-ranging selection of some of the most sensationally successful theatre productions of the long Victorian era, the real "blockbusters" of the age. Ranging from the world of operetta and music hall to spectacular drama and sensational melodrama, the productions included provide the reader with definitive proof that the phenomenon of the "smash hit" show is not restricted to modern Broadway. This is a world that encompassed the ground-breaking stage technology of Ben Hur, the wide political impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin and the sheer creative originality of L'Enfant Prodigue. Supporting the "star" system, productions featured some of the greatest names of the period - Sir Henry Irving, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, James O'Neill and Dion Boucicault. This was the very dawning of a new media age, which saw many of the productions transfer to the new world of silent cinema for the very first time

Book excerpt: "Self-respect: The secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious."-page 70Why is it that when reading Mencken one feels that they'd be more comfortable if they were wearing a flak jacket? Once again, in his 'A Book of Burlesques,' Mencken, the master of irreverence, gives forth a collection of philosophical sayings running the gamut from downright boring to uproariously hilarious. Now I'm looking forward to reading his 'In Defense of Women.' I'm sure that women-hood will never be in more need of defending than after reading what H. L. has to say in their defense.Recommendation: 'A Book of Burlesques' offers a glimpse into the warped mind of Mencken. That may not be everyone's cup of pomegranate wine. Read at your own risk."Man weeps to think that he will die so soon. Woman, that she was born so long ago."-page 72Excerpt from "A Book of BurlesqueBy William Davenport Adams":Shall I to Honor or to Love give way? Go on, cries Honor; tender Love says, Nay; Honor aloud commands, Pluck both boots on; But softer Love does whisper, Put on none.In the end, he "goes out hopping, with one boot on, and t'other off." Again, there was a passage in the drama called "The Villain," in which the host supplied his guests with a collation out of his clothes--a capon from his helmet, cream out of his scabbard, and so on. In like manner, Pallas, in Mr. Bayes's tragedy, furnishes forth the two usurping kings:--Lo, from this conquering lance Does flow the purest wine of France: And to appease your hunger, I Have in my helmet brought a pie; Lastly, to bear a part with these, Behold a buckler made of cheese.Of the direct parody in the burlesque a few instances will suffice.
