Description

Explore the evolution of the comic old man in Renaissance comedy with this scholarly study from Routledge. This book provides the first long-form analysis of how the comic elder transitioned from Italian stages to English drama. Anthony Ellis examines how English playwrights took Italian models and adapted them to address specific native concerns regarding aging and masculinity. The text offers a detailed look at the erudite comedy of sixteenth-century Florence and the development of the character in early modern Venice, including the commedia dell'arte. By looking at Anglo-Italian intertextuality, the study tracks how these characters flourished on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stages. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the performing arts, theatre history, and the cultural connections between the Italian and English Renaissance.
