Book Synopsis Burlesque Plays of the Eighteenth Century by : Simon Trussler
Download or read book Burlesque Plays of the Eighteenth Century written by Simon Trussler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1969 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The critical protest against "fustian, bombast, and moral hypocrisy' staged in the eighteenth century by certain irregular, satirical kinds of comedy is well represented in this collection of ten burlesque plays of the period. The Duke of Buckingham's The Rehearsal (1671), with its ridicule of the rhymed heroic tragedy then dominating the theatre, established a tradition to which some of the most gifted writers contributed. 'Regular' comedy was soon to turn sentimental and bathetic, but there is a refreshing frankness about sexual mores in John Gay's The What d'ye Call it (1751), and Three Hours After Marriage (1717) in which Gay, Pope, and John Arbuthnot collaborated. Burlesques such as Fielding's Tom Thumb (1730), Henry Carey's Chrononhotonthologos (1734), George Alexander Steven's Distress Upon Distress (1752), and Bombastes Furioso (1810) by William Barnes Rhodes, with their parodies of the strutting heroes of tragedy and of its verse forms, their mock-pedantic footnotes and barbed allusions, make good and often hilarious reading today." -Publisher.

Book excerpt: "Some Mums (are Fat Molls)" is a funny, filthy and feisty new book by Australian comedian & author Nelly Thomas. A stunning picture book illustrated by Cat MacInnes, "Some Mums" is an alternative to the saccharine, judgemental and unrealistic books that are usually served up to mothers. "Some Mums" is the kind of book Nelly wishes she'd been given when she became a mum. It starts from the premise that mothers are grown-up human adults who are entitled to individuation, affirmation, adult content and some FUN. And it offers a giant STUFF YOU to anyone who ever made you feel not good enough.
Book Synopsis Victorian Classical Burlesques by : Laura Monros-Gaspar
Download or read book Victorian Classical Burlesques written by Laura Monros-Gaspar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian classical burlesque was a popular theatrical genre of the mid-19th century. It parodied ancient tragedies with music, melodrama, pastiche, merciless satire and gender reversal. Immensely popular in its day, the genre was also intensely metatheatrical and carries significance for reception studies, the role and perception of women in Victorian society and the culture of artistic censorship. This anthology contains the annotated text of four major classical burlesques: Antigone Travestie (1845) by Edward L. Blanchard, Medea; or, the Best of Mothers with a Brute of a Husband (1856) by Robert Brough, Alcestis; the Original Strong-Minded Woman (1850) and Electra in a New Electric Light (1859) by Francis Talfourd. The cultural and textual annotations highlight the changes made to the scripts from the manuscripts sent to the Lord Chamberlain's office and, by explaining the topical allusions and satire, elucidate elements of the burlesques' popular cultural milieu. An in-depth critical introduction discusses the historical contexts of the plays' premieres and unveils the cultural processes behind the reception of the myths and original tragedies. As the burlesques combined spectacular effects with allusions to contemporary affairs, ambivalent and provocative attitudes to women, the plays represent an essential tool for reading the social history of the era.
