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. 410 0$aMental and cultural world of Tudor and Stuart England. 606 $aDomestic drama, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDomestic drama, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a822.309355 700 $aComensoli$b Viviana$0987181 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459675203321 996 $aHousehold business$92256129 997 $aUNINA
