shoemaker's holiday as romantic comedy
For instance, Rose reshapes the conventions of courtship "so that she is more than a pawn between two men seeking to use her marriage to advance or maintain their own status. Oatley and Lincoln attempt to prevent Lacy's marriage but manage to interrupt Rafe and Jane's reunion instead. He suspects that Lacy has stayed behind to win Rose and determines to stop the match at all cost. Hammon spies on Jane while she works alone in a clothes shop. [50][51], In 1967, Director Douglass Campbell of Guthrie Theater Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota presented an adaptation with an instrumental score composed by Dominick Argento. The play is not exactly a City Comedy either. Still, Margery has a good heart beneath her affectation and remembers to treat Rafe kindly when he returns, even though he is now in a lower social class. But Eyre is none of these things-he is a lover of life. While being verbally abused and pushed out of most of the discussion, she is silenced and banished from the business deal with the Dutch merchant. The Rafe subplot is a proper foil for the Lacy plot: Lacy, though he would like to, does not have the authority to excuse a man from service. Oatley agrees. The King agrees to be Eyre's guest at the banquet and vows afterward to press again his fight with France. "[35] She claims that Eyre's multiple identities challenge the hierarchal class structures of early modern English societies. Lincoln advises Lacy to enter the war in France and leave Rose behind. His ungallant wooing of Jane after telling her that Rafe is dead is hardly a pardonable offense, but his attempt to buy Jane from Rafe for £20 (or any amount of money) is the action of a cad. Eyre denies the request, but is met by Hodge, his foreman, and Firk threatening to leave unless their desire is met. Firk holds all the same ennobling qualities as Hodge but is more the jokester. Firk and Hodge are impressed by Lacy/Hans' abilities. While Oatley's domineering decision to lock up his daughter in order to maintain his control over her suitors generally leads us Firk decides to gull Oatley and Lincoln. Otley decides to send his daughter back to their country house following this news. They accuse Lacy of treason. All three allusions, in addition, are spoken by Simon Eyre, so it is likely that we are to see the master shoemaker as an ardent playgoer-an interest usually attributed to an apprentice slack in his duties (see Quicksilver in Eastward Hoe!). [32] The character of Ralph in the play, a shoemaker who returns from the war disabled, contributes to the uniquely artisan conception of the body in the play. They come across Rafe, home and lame from the war in France. They plan to meet presently at Eyre's shop and run away together. V.iv Eyre plans to have none but shoemakers attend upon the King when he comes. In short, he has studied the theatre and seems to prefer Marlowe. He sends them with Margery, who will act as witness, to be married at the Savoy. Rafe would be a husband but for the interference of the war. Format: Paperback Verified Purchase. Eyre may be elected sheriff that very day. [35] Bartolovich, in Mythos of Labor: The Shoemaker's Holiday and the Origin of Citizen History also acknowledges the complex relationship between the classes in The Shoemaker's Holiday, suggesting that the differences between citizen and noble life are not dichotomous. the Dauphin's gift of tennis balls in HV). This demonstrates that the Lord Mayor believes that "emotions can be purchased or compensated in a commercial exchange,". Ralph's disability, although it does literally hinder his ability to work, is not viewed as a hindrance by his community, which values labor in and of itself. Hammon, who is ultimately rejected by both, woos both Lacy's love and Rafe's wife. He refers to Mephistopheles (from Doctor Faustus) and to Tamburlaine in V.iv. Lacy falls back on his disguise and pretends to fit Rose with a shoe. "Introduction: About the Play.". He falls in love all too quickly with both Rose and Jane. Although it takes place in and around London and deals with common people (for the most part), it departs from the standard City Comedy on at least two points: First, and most importantly, it is not set in a contemporary London but is instead historical. At the same time he has a jolly good laugh on the gentry. The allusions therefore to Mephistopheles, Tamburlaine, and Madge Mumblecrust are anachronistic. He proposes to keep a long-standing promise to feast all the tradesmen in the city at a great banquet that day. Rafe suggests that Eyre will quickly become Lord Mayor. Notes of Interest: Cast . V.iii The King, having heard that the new Lord Mayor is a madcap fellow, sends a messenger to tell Eyre to be himself and not affect a gravity for the King's presence. He attempts to woo her, but she says she is already married and her husband Ralph is fighting in France. The Shoemaker's Holiday CHRISTOPHER L. MORROW Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday places the char acter Simon Eyre center stage as audiences witness his rapid rise from shoemaker to Lord Mayor. Firk comes back with the happy news that Eyre is sheriff indeed. [12] The story of Simon Eyre, the shoemaker-become-Lord-Mayor, as well as that of Crispine and Crispianus provided direct narrative inspiration for Dekker's plotlines of Simon Eyre and that of Rose and Lacy, respectively. Margery, his wife, is affected and becomes pompous with Eyre's elevation, but she is not detestable. The diary of theatrical impresario Philip Henslowe records a payment of £3 to "Thomas Dickers" for the play. 3.0 out of 5 stars Shoemaker's Holiday. He has Margery try to persuade Rose to marry Hammon but to no avail. Hodge and Margery discuss the drinking of a pipe of tobacco at III.iv. Lacy is given command of an army (a high honor). He refers to Mephistopheles (from Doctor Faustus) and to Tamburlaine in V.iv. Her only really objectionable act is throwing out Jane and seeming unconcerned about it when Rafe returns in search of her. Hodge and Margery discuss the drinking of a pipe of tobacco at III.iv. The war separates Rafe from Jane (aided by Margery's dismissal of Jane). When Jane learns that Rafe is there she runs to him. We find him in his last appearance successfully entreating the King not only to excuse Lacy's desertion but also to approve Lacy and Rose's marriage, grant a patent for the shoemakers's market days in Leaden Hall, and accept an invitation to a banquet. Throughout the play he is a fine fellow and a good man, a good administrator who never forgets his roots. They are reasonable men, however, who are overridden by the King's command. Firk gives Lincoln and Otley directions to the church where Hammon will marry Jane. Hammon falls in love with Rose and Warner with Sybil. This rise in social status is a key event to follow within the play. Eyre enters with his gold chain of office. [35] Arab also suggests that Eyre's method of gaining political power reveals a class disparity and dependence upon economic "borrowing privileges" of the aristocratic class. Deloney's influence on Dekker's work is impossible to overlook considering that two of the three interwoven plots of The Gentle Craft are found within The Shoemaker's Holiday. Master Hammon and Master Warner, two wealthy men, are hunting deer on the land adjacent to Roger Otley's country house. As soon as they learn their mistake, Dodger arrives with news that Rose and Lacy are married and that Eyre intends to beg the King that Lacy be pardoned for his crimes.

Rafe is on the list. Eyre learns much. I read The Shoemaker's Holiday in preparation for attendance at a local Shakespeare company's production. Rafe suggests that Eyre will quickly become Lord Mayor. "[28], Act 3 Scene 1 also reveals the inherent link between capital and class. Also the mention of "tennis balls" to the King at V.v l.25 would have a more "madcap" effect if Shakespeare's HV is the King addressed (cf. Sybil, her maid, comes in to tell her that she does not believe Lacy loves her in truth. First, and most importantly, it is not set in a contemporary London but is instead historical. To honor Eyre, the King himself names Eyre's new building "Leaden Hall." He refers to "Madge Mumblecrust" (from Ralph Roister Doister) in II.iii. "[4] However, acknowledging the historical context reveals other motivations. In short, he has studied the theatre and seems to prefer Marlowe. Scholar W.L. Shakespeare's Henry V (for the possible anachronistic use in this play-the use of the Crispin/Crispian speech (patron saint of leather workers) at Agincourt may have suggested the appropriateness of HV in this play to Dekker. Eugene Shewmaker. With this, the functions and bodily motions of the shoemakers are presented as symbols of health and vitality rather than low or common motions. Rafe says that on that very morning he delivered the shoes to Jane, who did not recognize him for his lameness and the beard he grew while in France. [39] She argues that female characters are able to use the conservative social institution of marriage to their advantage. The King divorces them to please the old men, then remarries them to please the couple. Rose sends Sybil to London to seek him out before he goes to war and discover whether he loves her or not. The press marches across the stage, and Rafe joins the parade. Hammon sees his error and gives the couple the £20 in recompense. Eyre agrees to take Hans on. A roarer is usually an ape of players and no real threat (see Pistol in 1 & 2 Henry IV and Henry V). Social class affects other relationships in the play as well, particularly Ralph and Jane. Reviewers described the show as a light-hearted, comedic interpretation with exceptional costuming. In this they rather resemble Egeus in A Midsummer Night's Dream-not really bad, but certainly a burr in the lovers' saddle. Like Jonson, Dekker cannot here resist a discussion of the new sensation, tobacco. "[41] Fleck argues that the conclusion of the play, with the marriage of Lacy and Rose, implies that aristocrats may unite with citizens to "prepar[e] the way for a unified England to face a foreign enemy". Oatley enters and is pleased with the prospect of Hammon for a son and decides to make Rose love him. [53], The Shoemaker's Holiday has also been a part of Shakespearean festivals celebrating Elizabethan theatre. [3] He is best known for securing the French crown and for his depiction in Shakespeare's plays Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V. Dekker uses this correlation in The Shoemaker's Holiday, as an English king appears in scenes 19 and 21; however, he is only identified as "The King" in the speech prefix in the first printed edition of the play.[4][5]. Hammon does not leave until Jane promises that, if she does remarry, it will be to him. Oatley then realizes why Rose refused Hammon. The King is coming the same day to view the building Eyre has had erected. Sybil contrives to get Rose into London so she may meet her Hans/Lacy.

II.i Rose, making a garland, is unhappy that her father, Oatley, has all but imprisoned her in Old Ford (3 1/2 miles N.E. Askew agrees, but the two are interrupted by a band of shoemakers led by Simon Eyre. It is therefore not too far fetched to consider this not as a chronicle history but rather a Romantic comedy. Notes of Interest: The disguise of the romantic lead as a Dutchman and his "accent" and the way war haunts what is otherwise pretty typical of city comedy provide other points of interest. [7] The first edition was published in 1600 by the printer, Valentine Simmes,[7] after having been performed for the Queen on New Year's Day, 1600.

We are not ultimately persuaded by her acceptance of Hammon, but we can accept the action as a necessary plot device for the romantic ending. They carry the money to Eyre, who says he will transact the purchase. But even they are not the dark characters of other Renaissance plays.

The presentation of class is also a key point. Oatley and Lincoln have no choice but grudgingly to accept the match. Jane is the long-suffering war bride. Hodge is the very backbone of craftsman camaraderie, a stout and likable fellow as well as a resolute friend. His off-color remarks are likewise good natured (and a type of true-to-life humor of the working classes that can be witnessed even today). He is not a villain, just a cad.
