| Zusammenfassung: | This book argues that a professional Elizabethan theatre company always contained one actor known as 'the clown'. Its focus is Will Kemp, clown to the Chamberlain's Men from 1594 to 1599 and famed for his solo dance from London to Norwich in 1600. David Wiles combines textual, theatrical and biographical lines of research in order to map out Kemp's career. He shows how Shakespeare and other dramatists made use of Kemp's talents and wrote specific roles as vehicles for him. He discerns a perpetual and productive tension between the ambitions of a progressive writer and the aspirations of a traditional actor whose art was rooted in improvisation. The book also describes the clown tradition in general, dealing with Kemp's inheritance from medieval theatre, with the work of Richard Tarlton, the great comic actor of the 1570s and 1580s, and with Kemp's successor, Robert Armin, who created the 'fool' parts in Shakespeare |

Its focus is Will Kemp, clown to the Chamberlain's Men from 1594 to 1599 and famed for his solo dance from London to Norwich in 1600. David Wiles combines textual, theatrical and biographical lines of research in order to map out Kemp's career. He shows how Shakespeare and other dramatists made use of Kemp's talents and wrote specific roles as vehicles for him. He discerns a perpetual and productive tension between the ambitions of a progressive writer and the aspirations of a traditional actor whose art was rooted in improvisation. The book also describes the clown tradition in general, dealing with Kemp's inheritance from medieval theatre, with the work of Richard Tarlton, the great comic actor of the 1570s and 1580s, and with Kemp's successor, Robert Armin, who created the 'fool' parts in Shakespeare Shakespeare, William / 1564-1616 / Characters / Clowns Shakespeare, William / 1564-1616 / Stage history / To 1625 Shakespeare, William / 1564-1616 / Relations with actors Kemp, William / active 1600 Kemp, William -1603 (DE-588)128823674 gnd rswk-swf Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 gnd rswk-swf Armin, Robert (DE-588)123496462 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1500-1600 Geschichte Fools and jesters in literature Authors and theater / England / History / 16th century Theater / England / History / 16th century Clowns / Great Britain / Biography Actors / Great Britain / Biography Clown (DE-588)4010309-2 gnd rswk-swf Narr (DE-588)4041238-6 gnd rswk-swf Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Kemp, William -1603 (DE-588)128823674 p Clown (DE-588)4010309-2 s Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 p 1\p DE-604 Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s 2\p DE-604 Armin, Robert (DE-588)123496462 p 3\p DE-604 Narr (DE-588)4041238-6 s 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-32840-1 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-67334-1 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511553417 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
