Description: The Shoemaker's Holiday by Thomas Dekker, Jonathan Gil Harris Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description One of the most popular Elizabethan plays, The Shoemakers Holiday is one of the earliest examples of `citizen comedy plays set in London and dealing with the dominant concerns of metropolitan society - class mobility, sexual intrigue and the pursuit of wealth and status. Publisher Description I know the trade: I learned it when I was in WittenbergThus speaks Lacy, the gentleman who disguises himself as a simple shoemaker in order to win his true love, the grocers daughter Rose. The Shoemakers Holiday is one of the most engaging citizen comedies of the 17th century. Written and first performed at much the same time as Hamlet, it has an unexpected affinity with Shakespeares tragedy: both feature a leading character who has spent time in Wittenberg, where he has learned something that has changed him. But whereas Hamlets Wittenberg philosophy steers him into the realm of the individuated self, Lacys Wittenberg trade directs him and his fellows into the world of the collectively crafted commodity. In the process, the play offers fascinating insight into the evolution of fashion and the growth of consumer culture in newly capitalist London.This new student edition contains a lengthy new Introduction with background on the author, date and sources, the plays major preoccupations, and stage history.The editor, Jonathan Gil Harris, is Professor of English at George Washington University. he is the author of Foreign Bodies and the Body Politic, Sick Economies, and Untimely Matter in the Time of Shakespeare.
