Alas, Poor Yorick
Author: Robert DiChiara
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595213162
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Alas, Poor Yorick is a darkly funny first-person account of the life of the most famous fool in all literature, one we have known as but a skull in the hands of a brooding Hamlet. From that familiar graveyard setting, the novel’s Yorick speaks to us, angry that Hamlet had forgotten him all this time, hurt that Hamlet never wondered what had become of his witty boyhood companion. Yorick’s clever, compassionate tale tells us of his cruel childhood and father-inflicted deformity, of his passionate love for an Elsinore servant, Philia, of his training and trickery in order to become royal jester. Most of all, of why he ultimately swears revenge on Hamlet’s father, the humorless and self-righteous king of Denmark, and how he schemes to destroy him. The court, in fact, receives three sets of visitors -- King Lear and his Fool, Othello and Iago, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth -- each inspiring Yorick to a different mode of vengeance against the Danish king, each with its own tragic-comic results. Alas, Poor Yorick is a bold, bawdy twist on the Bard, a poetic tale of infinite jest and human frailty for all who love Hamlet in particular and Shakespeare in general.

Fatherhood and the British Working Class, 1865-1914
Author: Julie-Marie Strange
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107084873
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A pioneering study of Victorian and Edwardian fatherhood, investigating what being, and having, a father meant to working-class people. Based on working-class autobiography, the book challenges dominant assumptions about absent or 'feckless' fathers, and reintegrates the paternal figure within the emotional life of families. Locating autobiography within broader social and cultural commentary, Julie-Marie Strange considers material culture, everyday practice, obligation, duty and comedy as sites for the development and expression of complex emotional lives. Emphasising the importance of separating men as husbands from men as fathers, Strange explores how emotional ties were formed between fathers and their children, the models of fatherhood available to working-class men, and the ways in which fathers interacted with children inside and outside the home. She explodes the myth that working-class interiorities are inaccessible or unrecoverable, and locates life stories in the context of other sources, including social surveys, visual culture and popular fiction.
