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. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Morecambe, Eric; Wise, Ernie; Morecambe & Wise; Shakespeare; Shakespop; Adaptation; gender and sexuality | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-33958-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-33960-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-33958-6Series ISSN 2731-4332 Series E-ISSN 2731-4340 | | issn_series | 2731-4332 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
