The Fool in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period was either a
person who capitalized on his natural deficiencies, which were then
considered amusing, or a professional entertainer the artificial
Fool who specialized in clowning. His distinctive clothing and
bauble are known to us through numerous Psalter illustrations where
he is shown in connection with Psalm 52, which asserts that The
fool has said in his heart there is no God. Attitudes toward the
Fool varied, but his place was to become assured on stage, where
his role is best known to us through the plays of Shakespeare. The
articles in the present volume provide indispensable analyses of
the Fool from a number of different perspectives.
