Riassunto

Travel through centuries of Shakespeare burlesque with a scholarly, lively survey that traces the fun and fascination of travesties.

This edition presents a historical look at how Shakespeare’s plays have been parodied across languages and eras. It tracks foreign and English travesties from the late 18th century to the 19th, noting how humor shifts with time and place. Readable, with both narrative overview and curating detail, it helps readers understand how writers reimagine famous scenes for wit and satire.

• Learn which plays were favorite targets and how humor evolved across generations
• See example passages and describe how writers adapted character and plot
• Explore how early burlesque was received by audiences and critics
• Get a sense of the broader tradition of Shakespearean bibliography and parody

Ideal for readers of Shakespeare, literary history, and bibliographical study who want a compact, accessible overview without spoilers.
