Description

Explore the evolution of comedy with Pipes and Tabors: 2, a volume within the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature series. This work expands on the idea that W.S. Gilbert was not merely a classic Victorian figure, but a key part of a comedic lineage that connects Aristophanes to Joe Orton. This book examines the comedic experience through the lens of specific genres. It analyzes how Gilbert engaged with diverse theatrical styles and traditions. By looking at his work in relation to significant literary influences, readers gain a deeper understanding of his place in the history of humor. Whether you are studying nineteenth-century drama or the history of comedic genres, this text provides a detailed look at how Gilbert responded to various theatrical forms. It covers a wide range of topics, including the pastoral, Irish drama, nautical scenarios, and melodrama. It also addresses sensation-theatre, the nonsense-mode, pantomime spectaculars, fairy plays, and classical farce.
