Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This work explores a fascinating time capsule of the days when England rejoiced in the lively traditions of Bartholomew Fair, Smithfield, and merriments of the early 18th century. The author vividly recreates the era of taverns, street performers, and the farcical energy of traveling players. Against this historical backdrop, three larger-than-life characters emerge: Joe Haynes, the practical-joking Droll-Player of Bartholomew Fair; Thomas Dogget, celebrated dancing comedian; and Mat Prior, esteemed poet and diplomat. Through their anecdotes and adventures, we encounter the theatrical giants of their day and gain insight into a vibrant chapter of English entertainment. This lively read will appeal to anyone interested in cultural history, theater, and the enduring legacy of these legendary figures.
