| Zusammenfassung: | Investigating representations of poverty in Tudor-Stuart England, Fat King, Lean Beggar reveals the gaps and outright contradictions in what poets, pamphleteers, government functionaries, and dramatists of the period said about beggars and vagabonds. William C. Carroll analyzes these conflicting "truths" and reveals the various aesthetic, political, and socio-economic purposes Renaissance constructions of beggary were made to serve Carroll begins with a broad survey of both the official images and explanations of poverty and also their unsettling unofficial counterparts. This discourse defines and contains the beggar by continually linking him with his hierarchical inversion, the king. Carroll then turns his attention to the exemplary case of Nicholas Genings, perhaps the single most famous beggar of the period, whose machinations as fraudulent parasite and histrionic genius were chronicled by Thomas Harman. Carroll next assesses institutional responses to poverty by considering two hospitals for the destitute, Bridewell and Bedlam, and their role as real and symbolic places in Elizabethan drama Fat King, Lean Beggar then focuses on dramatic inscriptions of poverty, primarily in Shakespeare's plays. Carroll's analysis of The Taming of the Shrew and The Winter's Tale links the tradition of the merry beggar to the socioeconomic forces of the day; and his reading of King Lear makes a case for the uniqueness of Edgar, the Bedlam beggar, in the history of drama. Carroll also considers later plays such as Fletcher and Massinger's Beggars' Bush and Richard Brome's Jovial Crew to show how idealizations of the beggar ironically equate him with a monarch in his supposed freedom |

Ithaca [u.a.] Cornell Univ. Press 1996 XIII, 237 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Investigating representations of poverty in Tudor-Stuart England, Fat King, Lean Beggar reveals the gaps and outright contradictions in what poets, pamphleteers, government functionaries, and dramatists of the period said about beggars and vagabonds. William C. Carroll analyzes these conflicting "truths" and reveals the various aesthetic, political, and socio-economic purposes Renaissance constructions of beggary were made to serve Carroll begins with a broad survey of both the official images and explanations of poverty and also their unsettling unofficial counterparts. This discourse defines and contains the beggar by continually linking him with his hierarchical inversion, the king. Carroll then turns his attention to the exemplary case of Nicholas Genings, perhaps the single most famous beggar of the period, whose machinations as fraudulent parasite and histrionic genius were chronicled by Thomas Harman. Carroll next assesses institutional responses to poverty by considering two hospitals for the destitute, Bridewell and Bedlam, and their role as real and symbolic places in Elizabethan drama Fat King, Lean Beggar then focuses on dramatic inscriptions of poverty, primarily in Shakespeare's plays. Carroll's analysis of The Taming of the Shrew and The Winter's Tale links the tradition of the merry beggar to the socioeconomic forces of the day; and his reading of King Lear makes a case for the uniqueness of Edgar, the Bedlam beggar, in the history of drama. Carroll also considers later plays such as Fletcher and Massinger's Beggars' Bush and Richard Brome's Jovial Crew to show how idealizations of the beggar ironically equate him with a monarch in his supposed freedom Shakespeare, William <1564-1616> - Pensée politique et sociale Shakespeare, William <1564-1616> Political and social views Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte 1500-1600 Geschichte 1560-1620 gnd rswk-swf Armoede gtt Bedelaars gtt Littérature et société - Angleterre - Histoire - 16e siècle Littérature et société - Angleterre - Histoire - 17e siècle Mendiants dans la littérature Pauvres dans la littérature Pauvreté dans la littérature Toneelstukken gtt Drama Geschichte Beggars in literature Literature and society England History 16th century Literature and society England History 17th century Poor in literature Poverty in literature Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Armut Motiv (DE-588)4265691-6 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Armut (DE-588)4002963-3 gnd rswk-swf Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf England (DE-588)4014770-8 gnd rswk-swf Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 p Armut (DE-588)4002963-3 s DE-604 Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Armut Motiv (DE-588)4265691-6 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s England (DE-588)4014770-8 g Geschichte 1560-1620 z |
