{"product_id":"the-victorian-clown-jacky-bratton-9781107666672","title":"The Victorian Clown","description":"Previously unpublished manuscripts--James Frowde's account of his young life with the famous Henglers' circus in the 1850s and Thomas Lawrence's 1871 gag book--offer unique, unmediated access to the grass roots of popular entertainment. Through them this book explores the role of the circus clown at the height of equestrian entertainment in Britain, when the comic generated audience attention for the riders and acrobats, by parodying their skills in his own tumbling and contortionism, and also offered a running commentary on the times through his own 'wheezes' or stand-up comedy sets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacky Bratton, Ann Featherstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107666678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107666672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Jacky Bratton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924077838591,"sku":"9781107666672","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_71b8ba05-cd20-4690-8490-64a9e0c77991.jpg?v=1681068343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-victorian-clown-jacky-bratton-9781107666672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
