Abstract:

Two of the most popular forms of culture in the nineteenth century, and perhaps those to which Victorians had access at the earliest stages of their lives, are nursery rhymes and the Christmas pantomimes. The latter were and still remain the most financially successful of English dramatic forms. Indeed, they kept most of the nineteenth-century theatres open, including even the licensed theatres, and nowadays the pantomime accounts for about one-fifth of the live-theatre tickets sold in England every year. The two forms are connected, of course, because so many of the pantomime characters and p

Abstract:

The aim of the research is to identify the features of harlequinade grotesque in D. H. Lawrence’s novel “Mr. Noon”. The paper briefly outlines the main approaches to the study of this work, analyses the system of images, reveals the content of the “harlequinade grotesque” notion and the grounds for which Lawrence employs it. Allusions to famous English pantomimes of the XVII and XIX centuries are revealed. As a result, a hypothesis that the writer deliberately turned to the composition and imagery of the English pantomime in order to romanticise and dramatise the narrative while enhancing its

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the interpretation of D. H. Lawrence’s novel ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’. The basis for reading the novel in a carnival key is provided by both the facts of Lawrence’s biography and the presence of carnival interpretations in his other works in recent decades. The study of the harlequinade imagery in the novel makes it possible to characterize the ‘Lawrentinian’ harlequinade grotesque and its role in reflecting the writer’s worldview. Through the analysis of the characters, the author establishes similarities between Mellors, Connie, and Clifford with Harlequin, Columbi

Abstract:

Theatre historians have long acknowledged John Weaver as the father of English pantomime. In 1985, however, the foremost Weaver scholar, Richard Ralph, noted that no one had systematically studied Weaver's pantomime descriptions, printed in The Loves of Mars and Venus, nor had classical influences upon Weaver been sufficiently investigated.1 Scholarship in the past fifteen years has not filled these gaps; thus, this article begins an examination of these two areas of Weaver's work.

Abstract:

Adopting a structural position, this chapter argues against the view of Christmas as an orgy of self-indulgent, hedonistic personal consumption. Instead, drawing on the myths and traditions of Father Christmas, the Nativity and Christmas Pantomime enacted in England every Christmas, it elaborates the notion of a hierarchical gift economy in which the directionality of Christmas gifting coincides with the flows of obligation, nurture and sentiment animating English kinship. Such unilateral gifting—from old to young and from rich to poor—serves to legitimize hierarchical structures of power by c

Although subsequent revivals of the show, generally in more orthodox performing spaces, have already been documented, there has previously been no full account of this inaugural and in many ways most successful production.

Spencer's versatile dance training and career encompassed diverse British theatre genres of the period, including ballet, drama, mime, modern dance, musical comedy, opera, pantomime and revue. It was common practice during the inter-war period for English dancers to disguise their British origins by ‘Russianising’ their names.

In the theory of activity, they are defined as a reflection of the relationship between the result of an activity and its motive.

Warren's baby farce Nita's First (1884) emerges as a precursor to The Importance of Being Earnest; Morton's nameless Children in the Wood (1793) swell into music-hall stars by the time of the Drury Lane pantomime of 1888.

We propose that gestures with features of pantomime are an infrequent but meaningful component of a multimodal communicative strategy.

The word “prosthetic” has its origins as a mathematical term. According to scholar Brandon W.

Later, as the word appears in classical Latin, it is used as a grammatical and rhetorical term, in the sense of a letter or syllable that is added on to a word, usually the addition of a syllable to the beginning of a word, hence pro-thesis (Hawk). This is the sense of the word that was “inherited … by early modern humanists”, sa
