This study revaluates our understanding of Renaissance chronicle history and the impact of Holinshed on Tudor, Jacobean, and Caroline political discourse; the Chronicles emerge not as a series of rambling, digressive episodes characteristic to a dying medieval genre, but as the preserver of national memory, the teacher of prudent policy, and a builder of the commonwealth ideal. 606 $aHistoriography$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1485$xHistoriography 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yTudors, 1485-1603$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 676 $a941.0072 700 $aDjordjevic$b Igor$0887266 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459624003321 996 $aHolinshed's nation$91982101 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04760nam 22006971c 450 001 9910511660003321 005 20200115203623.0 010 $a1-4725-3786-6 010 $a1-4742-1924-1 024 7 $a10.5040/9781474219242 035 $a(CKB)3880000000002725 035 $a(EBL)2075370 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001515748 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11804816 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001515748 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11482292 035 $a(PQKB)10156593 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2075370 035 $a(OCoLC)911492483 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09259669 035 $a(EXLCZ)993880000000002725 100 $a20160203d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aVictorian classical burlesques $ea critical anthology $fLaura Monro?s-Gaspar 210 1$aLondon $cBloomsbury Academic $d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (313 p.) 225 1 $aBloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4725-3787-4 311 $a1-4725-3785-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index 327 $aWhy classical burlesque? -- Enacting the past and the present -- The histories of Victorian classical burlesque -- Texts and contexts -- Note on the texts and this edition -- List of representative nineteenth-century classical burlesques -- Antigone : travestie / Edward L.

It parodied ancient tragedies with music, melodrama, pastiche, merciless satire and gender reversal. Immensely popular in its day, the genre was also intensely metatheatrical and carries significance for reception studies, the role and perception of women in Victorian society and the culture of artistic censorship. This anthology contains the annotated text of four major classical burlesques: Antigone Travestie (1845) by Edward L. Blanchard, Medea; or, the Best of Mothers with a Brute of a Husband (1856) by Robert Brough, Alcestis; the Original Strong-Minded Woman (1850) and Electra in a New Electric Light (1859) by Francis Talfourd. The cultural and textual annotations highlight the changes made to the scripts from the manuscripts sent to the Lord Chamberlain's office and, by explaining the topical allusions and satire, elucidate elements of the burlesques' popular cultural milieu. An in-depth critical introduction discusses the historical contexts of the plays' premieres and unveils the cultural processes behind the reception of the myths and original tragedies. As the burlesques combined spectacular effects with allusions to contemporary affairs, ambivalent and provocative attitudes to women, the plays represent an essential tool for reading the social history of the era 410 0$aBloomsbury studies in classical reception. 606 $aBurlesque (Literature)$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: plays & playwrights 606 $aEnglish drama (Comedy)$xClassical influences 606 $aEnglish drama (Comedy)$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aBurlesque (Literature)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama (Comedy)$xClassical influences. 615 0$aEnglish drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a822/.809 701 2$aBlanchard$b E.
