This book reappraises Dickens's Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi and his imaginative engagement with its principal protagonist.
This book reappraises Dickens''s Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi and his imaginative engagement with its principal protagonist. Arguing that the Memoirs should be read as integral to Dickens''s wider creative project on the theatricality of everyday existence, Jonathan Buckmaster analyses how Grimaldi''s clown stepped into many of Dickens''s novels.
Dickens''s Clowns presents new readings of Dickens''s treatment of topics such as identity, the grotesque and violence within the context of the tropes of the Regency pantomime. This is the first study to identify the Dickensian clown as a unifying force for several Dickensian themes, overturning traditional views of Dickens''s clowns as peripheral figures.
