'I know the trade: I learned it when I was in Wittenberg' Thus
speaks Lacy, the gentleman who disguises himself as a simple
shoemaker in order to win his true love, the grocer's daughter
Rose. The Shoemaker's Holiday is one of the most engaging citizen
comedies of the 17th century. Written and first performed at much
the same time as Hamlet, it has an unexpected affinity with
Shakespeare's tragedy: both feature a leading character who has
spent time in Wittenberg, where he has learned something that has
changed him. But whereas Hamlet's Wittenberg philosophy steers him
into the realm of the individuated self, Lacy's Wittenberg trade
directs him and his fellows into the world of the collectively
crafted commodity. In the process, the play offers fascinating
insight into the evolution of fashion and the growth of consumer
culture in newly capitalist London. This new student edition
contains a lengthy new Introduction with background on the author,
date and sources, the play's major preoccupations, and stage
history. The editor, Jonathan Gil Harris, is Professor of English
at George Washington University. he is the author of Foreign Bodies
and the Body Politic, Sick Economies, and Untimely Matter in the
Time of Shakespeare.
