False Wares --Epilogue --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsLabors Lost offers a fascinating and wide-ranging account of working women's behind-the-scenes and hitherto unacknowledged contributions to theatrical production in Shakespeare's time. Natasha Korda reveals that the purportedly all-male professional stage relied on the labor, wares, ingenuity, and capital of women of all stripes, including ordinary crafts- and tradeswomen who supplied costumes, props, and comestibles; wealthy heiresses and widows who provided much-needed capital and credit; wives, daughters, and widows of theater people who worked actively alongside their male kin; and immigrant women who fueled the fashion-driven stage with a range of newfangled skills and commodities. Combining archival research on these and other women who worked in and around the playhouses with revisionist readings of canonical and lesser-known plays, Labors Lost retrieves this lost history by detailing the diverse ways women participated in the work of playing, and the ways male players and playwrights in turn helped to shape the cultural meanings of women's work. Far from a marginal phenomenon, the gendered division of theatrical labor was crucial to the rise of the commercial theaters in London and had an influence on the material culture of the stage and the dramatic works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.Women in the theaterEnglandHistory16th centuryWomen in the theaterEnglandHistory17th centuryWomenEmploymentEnglandHistory16th centuryWomenEmploymentEnglandHistory17th centuryTheaterEnglandHistory16th centuryTheaterEnglandHistory17th centuryEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismTheater and societyEnglandHistory16th centuryTheater and societyEnglandHistory17th centuryGender Studies.Literature.Medieval and Renaissance Studies.Women's Studies.Women in the theaterHistoryWomen in the theaterHistoryWomenEmploymentHistoryWomenEmploymentHistoryTheaterHistoryTheaterHistoryEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Theater and societyHistoryTheater and societyHistory792.0820942Korda Natasha1477537MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788578603321Labors lost3751921UNINA03485nam 2200673Ia 450 991083067020332120230801224402.01-118-34340-91-118-34337-91-283-64439-81-118-34339-5(CKB)2670000000246809(EBL)1031825(OCoLC)813232818(SSID)ssj0000718970(PQKBManifestationID)11488565(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000718970(PQKBWorkID)10753022(PQKB)10327272(OCoLC)815471450(MiAaPQ)EBC1031825(MiAaPQ)EBC4034423(Au-PeEL)EBL4034423(CaPaEBR)ebr11109781(CaONFJC)MIL395689(OCoLC)813398041(EXLCZ)99267000000024680920120814d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe hunt for the parathyroids[electronic resource] /Jörgen Nordenström1st ed.Chichester, West Sussex Wiley-Blackwell20121 online resource (162 p.)Originally published: Körteljakten.
