This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter V A bitter disappointment The question of the statue was settled for me after all. I had got wet on that stormy night, and had sat for hours in my wet clothes. The disappointment and worry I had endured for some time past had pulled me down, and an illness ensued that nearly carried me off altogether. And now I learnt to do full justice to Stringer as a friend. He had a bed made up in my divan, and spent all his days and nights nursing me, except when he was working on his affairs or my own. By the time I was convalescent he had had the " Chastity," as it was now called, copied in marble, put into its place, and ready for the ceremony of unveiling. All this was done without consulting me, the doctor saying I was too ill to attend to any business, and the first news I heard about it was in the Somerville Sentinel, in which I read the following passage: --"To all our readers who are interested in the progress of art in Somerville, --we had almost said in England, for it is to be hoped that Somerville's example will carry with it a wide inspiration, --we have an important announcement to make. The severe illness which the strain of work had occasioned to the brilliant young artist Mr. Siffler, we are glad to hear, is now over, and he will be able to be present at the unveiling of the statue of 'Chastity' in Somerville next month. Lady de Somerville has promised to perform this ceremony in person. It would perhaps be ungracious on this occasion to point out that it was not till Lord de Somerville's property was being called upon to bear something like its share in supporting public institutions that he began to interest himself in public matters. We can only congratulate ourselves on having some kind of help, no matter what its motives, ...

The Elizabethan age was one of unbounded vitality and exuberance; nowhere is the color and action of life more vividly revealed than in the rogue books and cony-catching (confidence game) pamphlets of the sixteenth century. This book presents seven of the age's liveliest works: Walker's Manifest Detection of Dice Play; Awdeley's Fraternity of Vagabonds; Harman's Caveat for Common Cursitors Vulgarly Called Vagabonds; Greene's Notable Discovery of Cozenage and Black Book's Messenger; Dekker's Lantern and Candle-light; and Rid's Art of Juggling. From these pages spring the denizens of the Elizabethan underworld: cutpurses, hookers, palliards, jarkmen, doxies, counterfeit cranks, bawdy-baskets, walking morts, and priggers of prancers. In his introduction, Arthur F. Kinney discusses the significance of these works as protonovels and their influence on such writers as Shakespeare. He also explores the social, political, and economic conditions of a time that spawned a community of renegades who conned their way to fame, fortune, and, occasionally, the rope at Tyburn.

Investigating representations of poverty in Tudor-Stuart England, Fat King, Lean Beggar reveals the gaps and outright contradictions in what poets, pamphleteers, government functionaries, and dramatists of the period said about beggars and vagabonds. William C. Carroll analyzes these conflicting "truths" and reveals the various aesthetic, political, and socio-economic purposes Renaissance constructions of beggary were made to serve.Carroll begins with a broad survey of both the official images and explanations of poverty and also their unsettling unofficial counterparts. This discourse defines and contains the beggar by continually linking him with his hierarchical inversion, the king. Carroll then turns his attention to the exemplary case of Nicholas Genings, perhaps the single most famous beggar of the period, whose machinations as fraudulent parasite and histrionic genius were chronicled by Thomas Harman. Carroll next assesses institutional responses to poverty by considering two hospitals for the destitute, Bridewell and Bedlam, and their role as real and symbolic places in Elizabethan drama.Fat King, Lean Beggar then focuses on dramatic inscriptions of poverty, primarily in Shakespeare's plays. Carroll's analysis of The Taming of the Shrew and The Winter's Tale links the tradition of the merry beggar to the socioeconomic forces of the day; and his reading of King Lear makes a case for the uniqueness of Edgar, the Bedlam beggar, in the history of drama. Carroll also considers later plays such as Fletcher and Massinger's Beggars' Bush and Richard Brome's Jovial Crew to show how idealizations of the beggar ironically equate him with a monarch in his supposed freedom.
