Old Age, Masculinity, and Early Modern Drama: Comic Elders on the Italian and Shakespearean Stage - Anglo-Italian Renaissance Studies New edition

Shows how English dramatists adopted an Italian model to reflect native concerns about and attitudes toward growing old. This book studies the comic old man in the erudite comedy of 16th-century Florence; the character's parallel development in early modern Venice, and the character's subsequent flourishing on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage.
