Author: Ronda Arab

“While there are certainly many derogatory representations of working men in early modern drama,” states Arab (English, Simon Fraser U., Canada) in her introduction, this study examines “…the many representations of craftsmen, tradesmen, and laborers who emerge as key figures that excite, please, and sometimes frighten the audience, working men whose manliness matters.” Her study looks at The Shoemaker’s Holiday, The Pinner of Wakefield, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, among other works, and includes a chapter on the shopkeeper’s masculinity in early 17th-century London comedies.
