contextualizing the duo’s work within british comedy, shakespeare criticism, the history of sexuality, and their own historical moment, this book offers the first sustained analysis of the 20th century’s most successful double-act. over the course of a forty-four-year career (1940-1984), eric morecambe & ernie wise appropriated snippets of verse, scenes, and other elements from seventeen of shakespeare’s plays more than one-hundred-and-fifty times. fashioning a kinder, more inclusive world, they deployed a vast array of elements connected to shakespeare, his life, and institutions. rejecting claims that they offer only nostalgic escapism, hamrick analyses their work within contemporary contexts, including their engagement with many forms and genres, including variety, the heritage industry, journalism, and more. ‘the boys’ deploy shakespeare to work through issues of class, sexuality, and violence. lesbianism, drag, gay marriage, and a queer aesthetics emerge, helping to normalize homosexuality and complicate masculinity in the ‘permissive’ 1960s.
sissi's world explores the cultural foundations for the endurance of the sissi legends and the continuing fascination with the beautiful empress: a bavarian duchess born in 1837, the longest-serving austrian empress, and the queen of hungary who died in 1898 at the hands of a crazed anarchist.
despite the continuing fascination with "the beloved sissi," the habsburg empress, her impact, and legacy have received scant attention from scholars. this collection will go beyond the popular biographical accounts, recountings of her mythic beauty, and scattered studies of her well-known eccentricities to offer transdisciplinary cultural perspectives across art, film, fashion, history, literature, and media.

(来源indiebound) (1)in this fascinating reappraisal of the non-literary drama of the late 19th - early 20th century, christopher fitz-simon discloses a unique world of plays, players and producers in metropolitan theatres in ireland and other countries where ireland was viewed as a source of extraordinary topics at once contemporary and comfortably remote: revolution, eviction, famine, agrarian agitation, political assassination.
the form was the fashionable one of melodrama, yet irish melodrama was of a particular kind replete with hidden messages, and the language was far more allusive, colourful and entertaining than that of its english equivalent. there was much diversity, as shown in plays as different as murray & shine's an irish gentleman, hubert o'grady's the priest hunter, j.w.whitbread's the victoria cross and edward selden's mckenna's flirtation.
