This book examines laughter in the
Shakespearean theatre in the context of a
cultural history of early modern laughter.
Aimed at an informed readership as well as
graduate students and scholars in the field
of Shakespeare studies, it is the first study to
focus specifically on laughter, not comedy. It
looks at various strands of the early modern
discourse on laughter, ranging from medical
treatises and courtesy manuals to Puritan
tracts and jestbook literature. It argues that
few cultural phenomena have undergone as
radical a change in meaning as laughter.
This paradigm shift can be traced back to
the early modern period, which saw some
remarkable changes in the culture of laughter.
Hitherto laughter had been mainly regarded
as a social corrective that mocked those who
transgressed societal norms. The evolving cult
of courtly manners that spread throughout
Renaissance Europe stigmatized derisive
laughter as a sign of vulgarity. Laughter
became bound up with questions of taste and
class identity. At the same time, humanist
thinkers revalorized the status of recreation
and pleasure. These developments left their
trace on the early modern theatre, where
laughter was retailed as a commodity in an
emerging entertainment industry. Shakespeare s
plays both reflect and shape these changes.
This is particularly visible in his adoption of
Erasmus wise fool as a stage figure, whose
playful and ironic wit epitomizes the sceptical
strain of laughter evoked in the plays.
