    Brings Ben Jonson to the twenty-first century by reading Volpone through psychoanalysis, poststructuralism and MarxismThrough studying Volpone's three bastard children ̶ the dwarf, the androgyne and the eunuch ̶ from the theoretical argument of Freud, Lacan, Derrida and Foucault, this book discusses how Jonson's comedies are built upon the tension between death, castration and nothingness on one hand, and the comic slippage of identities in the city on the other. This study understands Jonson, first and foremost, as a comedy writer, linking his work with modern film comedies such as the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and Monty Python. It is a new approach to Jonsonian studies, responding to the current Marxist-Lacanian studies of literature, film and culture made popular by scholars such as Slavoj Žižek, Alenka Zupančič and Mladen Dolar. While the book pays close attention to the historical context of Jonson's time, it brings him to the twenty-first century by discussing early modern comedies with modern critical theories and film.Key FeaturesReads Ben Jonson in fresh ways from various theoretical perspectives including psychoanalysis, poststructuralism and MarxismShows readers how the dwarf, the androgyne, the eunuch and the parasite are instrumental to the understanding of Volpone and other Jonson's comedies including Epicoene, The Alchemist and Bartholomew FairProvides readers with a new understanding of Jonson's comedy, early modern city comedy and the difference between comedy and tragedyCompares Jonson with other early modern plays such as Shakespeare's King Richard III and Twelfth Night, Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters and A Chaste Maid in Cheapside and Massinger's The RenegadoCompares Jonson's comedies with modern film comedies such as the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and Monty Python

    Die prekäre Existenz weiblicher Hausangestellter in Küchen, Kinderzimmern und Ehebetten hat eine Vorgeschichte, die so alt ist wie die Geschichte des modernen Romans. Mit Richardsons Erfolgsroman Pamela (1740) betritt eine Figur, die bis dahin eine Randexistenz in der Komödie zu fristen hatte, die Bühne des modernen Romans: das Dienstmädchen. Ihre Karriere führt sie durch alle Gesellschaftsschichten und literarischen Gattungen. Man begegnet ihr als soziale Aufsteigerin bei Richardson, als gepeinigte Unschuld bei de Sade, frömmelnde Alte und »einfaches Herz« bei Flaubert, hysterische Magd, schließlich als Ehemonster bei Elias Canetti - bevor sie in der Angestelltenwelt des modernen Films untergeht. Über zweihundert Jahre ist sie die Verkörperung einer bis heute unaufgelösten Paradoxie: nämlich dass die Welt der bürgerlichen Familie sich zu einem intimen Binnenraum schließt, strukturell aber von der Dauerpräsenz familienfremder Personen abhängig bleibt. Das Buch analysiert den bürgerlichen Familiendiskurs von seinen Rändern und Ausgrenzungen her - in prominenter Weise bei Sigmund Freud, dessen Fallstudien vielfach von weiblichen Dienstboten handeln, die im Vater-Mutter-Kind-Mythos der Psychoanalyse keinen Platz finden.
