Description
The Shoemaker's Holiday by Thomas Dekker is a 17th-century citizen comedy that explores the intersection of fashion and consumer culture in newly capitalist London. Written around the same time as Hamlet, this play features a leading character who has spent time in Wittenberg, where he learned a trade that shapes his actions and decisions. The play offers insight into the evolution of fashion and the growth of consumer culture, making it a fascinating study of its time period. This new student edition includes a lengthy introduction with background on the author, date, and sources, as well as the play's major preoccupations and stage history. Edited by Professor Jonathan Gil Harris, this edition provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in 17th-century drama and the cultural context of London during that time.
