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.
this book is a diary derived from the careful editing of a vast series of notebooks: a complete yet diverse ensemble of investigations, lecture notes, travel diaries, poems, short fictions, summaries, and projects. owing to the performance of her writing, the image created shows not only the life of an artist but also the way she transmits her experience, and how she conceives the current state of the arts. between self-help and an artistic frankenstein, this book covers ten years of atomized writing, scattered notes which have found their axis many years later. experience is considered to be a multisensorial collage, and drawing is a modest and subtle companion, but also a powerful tool to transform reality. for the author, writing is pouring life directly into notebooks: a mobile registry which records impressions at any time, and at its own pace.
