This book delves into the history and definition of burlesque, a form of entertainment that uses humor and mockery to satirize serious works. The term originated from the Italian word 'burla' which means a joke, ridicule, or mockery. Burlesque is often associated with caricature, parody, and extravagance, and has been used in literature and theater since the 17th century. The book explores its usage in the works of Chaucer, Shakespeare, and the classics. A fascinating read for those interested in the origins and evolution of this unique art form.
