Book Singing Simpkin and other Bawdy Jigs

Download or read book Singing Simpkin and other Bawdy Jigs written by Dr Roger Clegg and published by Royal College of General Practitioners. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A popular crowd-pleaser in the late 16th and mid-17th century, the dramatic jig was a short, comic, bawdy musical-drama which included elements of dance, slapstick and disguise. With a cast of ageing cuckolds and young head-strong wives, knavish clowns, roaring soldiers and country bumpkins, jigs often followed as afterpieces at London’s playhouses, and were performed at fairs, in villages and in private houses. Troublesome to the authorities, they drew the crowds by offering a lively antidote to more sober theatrical fare. This performance edition presents for the first time nine examples of English dramatic jigs from the late sixteenth century through to the Restoration; the scripts are re-united as far as possible with their original tunes. It gives a comprehensive history, discusses sources, plots, instrumentation and dancing, and offers practical information on staging jigs today. Includes: Transcriptions of the original texts Contextual notes: plot synopses and discussion of sources, themes and audience reception Musical notation for each tune, with suggestions for underlay and chords, and notes on instrumention and style Appendix of dance instructions and reconstructions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL HE WANTS IS TO WIN THE BET.... BUT WHAT IF THE PRIZE IS MORE THAN HE BARGAINED FOR? There's nothing Nicholas Pryce, Viscount Somerton, and his friends like more than an outrageous wager. And there's nothing Wilhelmina Culpepper, daughter of an overbearing evangelist preacher, wants more than to get away from her father. When Wilhelmina becomes the unwitting victim of a jovial kidnapping caper by Nick & company, she decides to hatch a plan of her own -- one that causes her disgraced father to promptly disown her. Nick soon realizes the trouble he's caused, and he offers to take Willie in, even make her his wife. But Willie, a true romantic, laughs off his proposal: after all, how could two people thrown together because of a prank ever really fall in love? But with nowhere else to turn, Willie volunteers to stay on as Nick's housekeeper...and soon their affection for each other becomes more than just a lark. Could it be that a little tomfoolery is just what it takes to make the perfect match? Connie Lane's Regency-era romance is a sparkling adventure in the wise and witty ways of true love!

Book excerpt: After serving in the 'Great War' Casey Bretten returns to college and graduates with honors. He begins a new vocation as the manager of an Automobile Service and Repair business in Toledo, Ohio near his family farm. Through no fault of his own Casey had suffered abrupt endings to three affairs. He had tasted the 'honey of sex' and is eager to marry and settle down. He meets Emma Haan where she is working in a local bank. They fall in love and are married. Everything is going well until the Great Depression and Casey and Emma lose all they have worked for. They are near the point of destitution when Charlie Nash stops by Casey's business and offers Casey a job in Kenosha, Wisconsin at his Nash Motors Plant. The family moves to Kenosha and in 1933 they have their last child, a girl. Casey names the girl 'Tiona' which means 'Little Princess' in Indian. Unknown to Emma, Tiona is the name of Casey's first love. In 1936 Casey is promoted to the position of 'Regional Service Manager' of the entire Western United States. The family moves to Los Angeles. From 1936 to 1945 Casey flies more than 300,000 miles on United Air Lines planes. He is home with his family one week out of every twelve. During that time Emma is home with the children. Some of the problems Emma faces are: The death of her Mother. The 1938 flood in Los Angeles which almost results in the death of one of the children. The two youngest children contacting 'whooping cough.' Buying and moving to a two-bedroom house that is all they can afford. Emma's brother's young widow comes to visit them there with her baby and eventually marries a sailor who is transferred to Pearl Harbor. After several years they are able to buy a larger house.

Book La Fontaine s Bawdy

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jean de La Fontaine
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 1992-12-07
  • ISBN : 9780691015323
  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book La Fontaine s Bawdy written by Jean de La Fontaine and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1992-12-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Contes et nouvelles en vers of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) were published at various times throughout his life, both before and after his celebrated Fables, between 1664 and 1685, and even posthumously. In quite a different key from the more innocent Fables, the Contes often threatened to get him in trouble with both Church and Acadmie. It was, indeed, the bawdy tales of Boccaccio, Rabelais, and other medieval and renaissance masters of ribaldry that inspired La Fontaine's Contes, presented here in a chronologically and stylistically diverse selection translated by Norman R. Shapiro. This spirited recent translation, spanning the entire corpus, offers about half the tales, from early to late, in all their variety of lengths and poetic narrative forms. The mildly suggestive mingle with the frankly bawdy, while others would hardly raise a vicar's eyebrow. Yet all these gems from one of France's truly great poets, scrupulously faithful to the originals, are rendered with the spirit of his style, his subtle rhythms, cadences, rhymes, and delectable wit left intact.

Book The Bawdy Politic in Stuart England  1660   1714

Download or read book The Bawdy Politic in Stuart England 1660 1714 written by Melissa M. Mowry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this original study, Melissa Mowry makes a strong contribution to a provocative interdisciplinary conversation about an important and influential sub genre: seventeenth-century political pornography. This book further advances our understanding of pornography's importance in seventeenth-century England by extending its investigation beyond the realm of cultural rhetoric into the realm of cultural practice. In addition to the satires which previous scholars have discussed in this context, Mowry brings to light hitherto unexamined pornographies as well as archival texts that reveal the ways in which the satires helped shape the social policies endured by prostitutes and bawds. Her study includes substantial archival evidence of prostitution from the Middlesex Sessions and the Bridewell Courtbooks. Mowry argues that Stuart partisans cultivated representations of bawds and prostitutes because polemicists saw the public sale of sex as republicanism's ideological apotheosis. Sex work, partisans repeatedly asserted, inherently disrupted ancestral systems of property transfer and distribution in favour of personal ownership, while the republican belief that all men owned the labour of their body achieved a nightmarish incarnation in the prostitute's understanding that the sexual favours she performed were labour. The prostitute's body thus emerged in the loyalist imagination as the epitome of the democratic body politic. Carefully grounded in original research, The Bawdy Politic in Stuart England, 1660-1714 is a cultural study with broad implications for the way we understand the historical constructions and legal deployments of women's sexuality.

  • Author : Luisa Passerini
  • Publisher : Berghahn Books
  • Release : 2010-10-01
  • ISBN : 1845459768
  • Pages : 334 pages

Download or read book New Dangerous Liaisons written by Luisa Passerini and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe, love has been given a prominent place in European self-representations from the Enlightenment onwards. The category of love, stemming from private and personal spheres, was given a public function and used to distinguish European civilisation from others. Contributors to this volume trace historical links and analyse specific connections between the two discourses on love and Europe over the course of the twentieth century, exploring the distinctions made between the public and private, the political and personal. In doing so, this volume develops an innovative historiography that includes such resources as autobiographies, love letters, and cinematic representations, and takes issue with the exclusivity of Eurocentrism. Its contributors put forth hypotheses about the historical pre-eminence of emotions and consider this history as a basis for a non-Eurocentric understanding of new possible European identities.
