The Commedia Dell�������Arte: A Study In Italian Popular Comedy by Winifred Smith is a comprehensive exploration of the history, techniques, and themes of Commedia dell’arte, a form of Italian popular theater that originated in the 16th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the stock characters, such as Harlequin, Pantalone, and Columbine, and their physicality, costumes, and masks. Smith also examines the improvisational nature of Commedia dell’arte and its use of lazzi, or comic routines, as well as the role of music and dance in performances. The book includes numerous illustrations and examples of Commedia dell’arte performances, making it an engaging and informative resource for anyone interested in theater history, Italian culture, or comedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
