Developments in Comedy -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Works Cited -- Index The domestic play flourished on the English popular stage during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Its roots were predominantly native, rather than classical, and its mainspring was the staging of domestic conflict amongst English characters from the middle ranks of society. 'Household Business' traces the genre's origins in the cycle plays of medieval England and examines its aesthetic configurations in relation to extra-literary discourses and practices that underwrote Renaissance ideologies of private life. At a time when the orthodox view of the family defined it as the foundation of the social order, a number of domestic dramas took a more critical perspective, stressing the contradictions and struggles that attend marriage and the patriarchal family.In addition to well-known domestic dramas as A Woman Killed with Kindness, Arden of Feversham, The Witch of Edmonton, and A Yorkshire Tragedy, Viviana Comensoli analyzes less well-studied plays as A Warning for Fair Women, Two Lamentable Tragedies, and The Late Lancashire Witches. The book also provides an extensive and timely assessment of domestic comedy, demonstrating how plays such as The London Prodigal, The Fair Maid of Bristow, and The Honest Whore (Parts I and II) resist homiletic paradigms in favour of a more dialectical dramaturgy.Mental and cultural world of Tudor and Stuart England.Domestic drama, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismLiterature and societyEnglandHistory17th centuryElectronic books.Domestic drama, EnglishHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistory822.309355Comensoli Viviana987181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459675203321Household business2256129UNINA03726nam 2200661 a 450 991043835450332120200520144314.01-283-63419-8978661394664594-007-4848-510.1007/978-94-007-4848-4(CKB)2670000000256389(EBL)994359(OCoLC)809934163(SSID)ssj0000739056(PQKBManifestationID)11974276(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000739056(PQKBWorkID)10673433(PQKB)10255266(DE-He213)978-94-007-4848-4(MiAaPQ)EBC994359(PPN)168339188(EXLCZ)99267000000025638920120821d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrRe-negotiating gender household division of labor when she earns more than he does /Lake Lui1st ed. 2013.New York Springer20131 online resource (157 p.)Description based upon print version of record.94-007-9824-5 94-007-4847-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Literature Review -- Chapter 3: Research Methodology -- Chapter 4: Conceptualizing Housework and Who Does What? -- Chapter 5: The Changing Gender Ideology of Contemporary Hong Kong -- Chapter 6: Housework Battles and Gender Strategies -- Chapter 7: Children, In-laws and "Doing Gender" of Couples -- Chapter 8: Undoing or Redoing Gender -- Chapter 9: Conclusion -- References.In Chinese societies where both “money” and “gender” confer power, can a woman’s economic success relative to her husband’s bring about a more equal division of household labor? Lui’s qualitative study of “status-reversed” Hong Kong families, wherein wives earn more than their husbands, examines how couples re-negotiate household labor in ways that perpetuate male dominance within the family even when the traditional gender expectation that “men rule outside, women rule inside” (nanzhuwai, nuzhunei) is challenged. Going beyond the dyadic negotiation of household labor, this important study also explores the role of “third parties,” namely the couples’ children and parents, who actively encourage couples to conform to traditional gender norms, thereby reproducing an unequal division of household labor. Based upon the experiences of families with stay-at-home dads, Lui further identifies a new mechanism of deconstructing gender, by which couples concertedly construct new norms of "work" and "gender" that they maintain through daily interactions to fit their atypical relative earnings. As a result, there are sparks of hope that both men and women can be liberated from a set of traditional social norms.
