Focusing on the under-researched female 'serio-comic', the study includes six micro-histories detailing the acts of Ada Lundberg, Bessie Bellwood, Maidie Scott, Vesta Victoria, Marie Lloyd and Nellie Wallace. Uniquely for women in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, these pioneering performers had public voices. The extent to which their comedy challenged Victorian and Edwardian perceptions of women is revealed through explorations of how they connected with popular audiences while also avoiding censorship. Their use of techniques such as comic irony and stereotyping, self-deprecation, and comic innuendo are considered alongside the work of contemporary stand-up comedians and performance artists including Bridget Christie, Bryony Kimmings, Sara Pascoe, ShaziaMirza and Sarah Silverman. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Comedy,$x2731-4340 606 $aComedy 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aComedy Studies 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 615 0$aComedy. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 14$aComedy Studies. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 676 $a792.702809252 676 $a301 700 $aBeale$b Sam$0913683 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484956803321 996 $aThe comedy and legacy of music-hall women 1880-1920$92046970 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00969nam0 22002531i 450 001 UON00211785 005 20231205103338.156 010 $a88-387-1087-2 100 $a20030730d1997 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aDemocrazia e forme di governo$emodelli stranieri e riforma costituzionale$fa cura di Silvio Gambino 210 $aRimini$cMaggioli editore$d1997.
