?With mirth in Funerall, and with Dirge in Marriage?: Shakespeare and Early Modern Frivolous Drama
Original language description
John Dryden, in his Preface to his adaptation of Troilus and Cressida (1679), instructs that two different independent actions distract the attention and concernment of the audience, and consequently destroy the intention of the poet; if his business beto move terror and pity, and one of his actions he comical, the other tragical, the former will divert the people, and utterly make void his greater purpose. In this he voices French classicists anxious to secure as well as control the audience responsesin favour of an unambiguous generic refinement. Pre-classicist drama, not exempting Shakespeare, deals with modes and genres in a more playful and liberated way. Such generic and interpretive fuzziness has been called frivolité (in Ivo Osolsobě's semiotic analysis of French vaudevilles). Shakespearean drama ? at the most obvious level ? is frivolous in that it distracts a unified action by multiple plots.
