Am gerührtesten von beiden war Joe."Charles Dickens (1812-1870) war ein englischer Schriftsteller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is some years now, since we first conceived a strong veneration for Clowns, and an intense anxiety to know what they did with themselves out of pantomime time, and off the stage. As a child, we were accustomed to pester our relations and friends with questions out of number concerning these gentry;—whether their appetite for sausages and such like wares was always the same, and if so, at whose expense they were maintained; whether they were ever taken up for pilfering other people's goods, or were forgiven by everybody because it was only done in fun; how it was they got such beautiful complexions, and where they lived; and whether they were born Clowns, or gradually turned into Clowns as they grew up. On these and a thousand other points our curiosity was insatiable.

Download or read book Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi written by Charles Dickens and published by Pushkin Press. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837 Charles Dickens, then twenty-five years old, was asked to ‘tidy up’ Joseph Grimaldi’s autobiography – he ended up re-writing most of it. Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837), one of the greatest English clowns and pantomimes of all time, was born in London to an Italian ballet-master and a dancer in the theatre’s corps-de-ballet. The death of Grimaldi’s father when he was nine plunged the family into debt. He was introduced to the stage at the age of two and began performing at the Sadler’s Wells theatre at the age of three. Grimaldi’s fame as a pantomime clown was unequalled and he is credited as an innovator. He introduced the tradition of audience participation, of poking fun at spectators, and generally the modern concept of the clown as such. He died a poor and physically crippled man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi by Charles Dickens.It is the autobiography of the 19th century clown Joseph Grimaldi. In September 1837, Wilks offered the Memoirs to Richard Bentley, editor of Bentley's Miscellany magazine. Bentley bought it, after obtaining the copyright to the Grimaldi property, but thought it was still too long and poorly edited, so he asked one of his favorite young writers, the novelist Charles Dickens, then twenty-five years old., edit and rewrite it. At first Dickens was unwilling to accept the work, and wrote to Bentley in October 1837: However, Bentley accepted Dickens's terms (a guarantee of three hundred pounds and an agreement to publish the book at once, and not in monthly numbers). Dickens signed a contract in November 1837 and completed the job in January 1838, primarily by dictation.Dickens seems to have never seen the original Grimaldi manuscript (which remained in the hands of the executor), but he only worked from the version of Wilks, who edited and rewritten it. Bentley published it in two eighth volumes in February 1838. Charles Dickens - Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was an English writer and social critic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frightening yet comic clown is one of the best and most enduring characters in literature, theater, television, and film. Across the centuries, from Shakespeare's Porter in Macbeth to Edgar Allan Poe's "Hop-Frog," or Stephen King's Pennywise, horror and comedy have blended to create the perfect recipe for entertainment. This volume gives an in-depth analysis of the clown horror genre, including essays by revered horror scholars such as Kevin Wetmore, Dale Bailey, Kim Hester Williams, Jennifer K. Cox, and Joanna Parypinski. Their essays cover topics such as nostalgia, race, class, and new portrayals of the scary clown as zombies or phantoms. It also offers interviews with actors and directors working in the clown horror genre: Eoghan McQuinn (Stitches), Kevin Kangas (Fear of Clowns), and Jaysen Buterin (Kill Giggles). Some of fiction's most terrifying creations--like the Killer Klowns, Captain Spaulding, Art the Clown, Krusty, Frowny, the Joker, and Twisty--jig through these pages of analysis and deconstruction, asking what these many iterations of scary clowns have to say about our society and its fears.
