Publisher Description The Metamorphoses of Commedia dellArte traces the steps by which Commedia has been transformed by cultural contact outside Italy into popular forms which bear little resemblance to the original. The book follows the Masks of Arlecchino, Pedrolino and Pulcinella as they gradually migrate and mutate into Harlequin, Mr. Punch and seaside Pierrot troupes. What happened to Pantalone, Scaramouche, Colombina and the male Lover is also investigated, though they had no final forms of their own. This study constitutes a history of what happened, notably in France and Great Britain, to a supremely popular theatrical genre as a result of changing fashions in entertainment brought on by societal developments, civil and industrial revolution and dynastic change. It investigates how the genre was exploited by management, and even its own stars, lost its vitality and gradually ended up in sunken forms. Author Biography John Rudlin, now retired, was the founder of Drama courses at Exeter University, UK, and first Head of Department. He left this position to found the Centre Sélavy, a Centre in France for the study of outdoor performance. Johns previous publications include Commedia dellArte, its Structure and Tradition: Antonio Fava in Conversation with John Rudlin (2020), Jacques Copeau (2009) and Commedia DellArte: A Handbook for Troupes (2002), edited with Olly Crick.
