  • The English clown tradition from the middle ages to Shakespeare

    Robert HornbackBOOKThe English clown tradition from…2009

    From the late-medieval period through to the seventeenth century, English theatrical clowns carried a weighty cultural significance, only to have it stripped from them, sometimes violently, by the close of the Renaissance when the famed 'license' of fooling was effectively revoked. This groundbreaking survey of clown traditions in the period looks both at their history, and reveals their hidden cultural contexts and legacies; it has far-reaching …

  • Extravagant and Wheeling Strangers

    Robert HornbackARTICLEExemplaria2008References: 7

    Challenging the assumption that the minstrel stereotype associating dance with racial impersonation was a uniquely American invention, I argue that it was instead founded upon a type which appeared in various comical blackface guises since the Renaissance. In the wake of the early African slave trade, racial impersonation in the Morris dance is reflected both in accounts of face-painting and in the distinctive raised or bent-limbed gestures, vigo…

    Si les puritains de la Renaissance se considéraient comme érudits et rationnels, les auteurs qui leurs étaient contemporains étaient loin de les représenter ainsi. Leur portrait était plutôt marqué par une stupide irrationalité. Apparues en réponse à divers scandales, ces images, incluant le clown satiriste «Martin Marprelate», le fouillettré William Hacket, ainsi que la controverse au sujet de la «méthode» simplifiée du héro intellectuel puritai…

  • Staging Puritanism in the Early 1590s

    Robert HornbackARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2000References: 2

    La représentation, depuis longtemps négligée, de bouffons puritains sur la scène anglaise au début des années 1590 va de façon surprenante à l'encontre des préconceptions modernes. En se servant du souvent imité personnage rabelaisien et «tarltonesque» de «Martin Marprelate» (1588–89), ainsi qu'en puisant dans la polémique qui façonnait les Puritains comme des Anabaptistes incultes visant le bouleversement de l'ordre social, certains dramaturges …
