Racism and Early Blackface Comic Traditions: From the Old World to the New - Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History

This book traces blackface types from ancient masks of grinning Africans and phallus-bearing Roman fools through to comedic medieval devils, the pan-European black-masked Titivillus and Harlequin, and racial impersonation via stereotypical 'black speech' explored in the Renaissance by Lope de Vega and Shakespeare.
