| Zusammenfassung: | "To early modern audiences, the 'clown' was much more than a minor play character. A celebrity performer, he was a one-man sideshow whose interactive entertainments - face-pulling, farce interludes, jigs, rhyming contests with the crowd - were the main event. Clowning epitomised a theatre that was heterogeneous, improvised and participatory, and irreducible to dramatic texts. How, then, did those texts emerge? Why did playgoers buy books that deleted not only the clown, but them as well? Challenging the narrative that clowns were 'banished' by playwrights like Shakespeare and Jonson, Richard Preiss argues that clowns such as Richard Tarlton, Will Kemp and Robert Armin actually made playwrights possible - bridging, through the publication of their routines, the experience of 'live' and scripted performance.

То
early modern audiences, the clown was much
more than a minor play character. A celebrity
performer, he was a one-man sideshow whose
interactive entertainments
-
face-pulling, farce
interludes, jigs, rhyming contests with the crowd
-
were the main event. Clowning epitomized a theatre
that was heterogeneous, improvised, participatory,
and irreducible to dramatic texts. How, then,
did those texts emerge? Why did playgoers buy
books that deleted not only the clown, but them as
well? Challenging the narrative that clowns were
banished by play wrights like Shakespeare and
lonson, Richard Preiss argues that clowns such
as Richard Tarlton, Will Kemp, and Robert
Armin
actually made playwrights possible
-
bridging,
through the publication of their routines, the
experience of live and scripted performance.
Clowning and Authorship tells the story of how, as the
clown s presence decayed into print, he bequeathed
the new categories around which theatre would
organize: the author, and the actor.
