It traces their pedigrees through the works of the Shakespeare to Leacock. The book distinguishes between burlesque as a literary form and other forms of comedy, such as satire and parody. The book is amply illustrated to showcase the traditional jokes of burlesque: `Heroic Declamation' for example is represented by a colourful Cruikshank portrait of Mrs. Liston in the part of Queen Dollalolla. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57086686593397,"sku":"9781041300304","price":73.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041300304.jpg?v=1776681261","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041300304","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
