The four hundred years of his life cover a personal and dramatic history as fantastic as his appearance; and his final costume is perhaps the most beautiful and the most theatrically effective ever devised. ***Born in Italy, Harlequin played a leading part in the development of commedia dell'arte, a unique form of creative drama. Through him, new theatre forms were developed - opera comique in France, pantomime in England. His vicissitudes - and they were many - were closely linked with the social and political changes of four centuries of European history, his destiny shaped by his adventures abroad, and by the men who played him. The author traces his evolution from Arlecchino, the doltish Bergamask clown, through Marivaux's witty, elegant Arlequin, to the glittering spangled Harlequin of English pantomime, and draws her own conclusions from the wealth of historical material brought to light by her researches. ***Harlequin Phoenix is a book which every true lover of theatre will wish to have on his shelves.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper illustrated by Mervyn Peake, and with the frontispiece also by Mervyn Peake. An unusual first edition title. A very good copy, with faults as described. A nicely produced book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
