• W1593388531 abstract "THE first eight decades of scholarship on Old Wives Tale left us with a play that is a naive and pleasant conceited comedy, or a satire of romantic comedies, or a flawed representation of the language, methods, and ethos of folk literature. (1) However, in 1978, John Cox established as central the play two related themes: the use of Eumenides' prophecies by some of the characters who, through the practice of charity, bring about the defeat of the evil conjurer Sacrapant. (2) Cox's article led directly the most fruitful period of scholarship on the play at the beginning of the 1980s when four major articles by Marx, Viguers, Renwick, and Cope appeared, which have not as yet been supplanted. In these works, the play emerged as a unified festive comedy in which the induction is related in theme and method the framed play, the various plots are carefully coordinated and presented through developed stagecraft, and the characters form a hierarchy based on their relationship the providential order. (3) Criticism of Old Wives Tale has not progressed much beyond these articles because no critic has attempted relate the play Peele's oeuvre and his perennial theme of the celebration of Protestant England under Elizabeth. Jenkins noted the presence of Peele's anti-Spanish bias, but he did not connect it any developed political context. (4) Horne asserted, The Old Wives Tale is the Arraignment of brought down the hearthside level, but he provided no further amplification of this interesting idea. (5) In 1983, Braunmuller summed up the situation by saying that the absence of a historical context has served to conceal Peele's connection with the play, that is, hide the dramatist or any other 'source' from our view. (6) Two decades later, the play remains essentially, as Braumuller said, and sui generis. However, a new direction has been indicated by Scott McMillin and Sally-Beth MacLean. In Queen's Men and Their Plays, they trace the origin of the Queen's Men acting company the nationalistic agenda of Sir Francis Walsingham, who assembled the all-star company in the name of service the Elizabethan government and a Protestant ideology. original company employed three actors from Lord Leicester's Men, and as a result Leicester maintained close ties with the Queen's Men. Some of the plays performed by the company include Greene's Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, Old Wives Tale, Famous Victories of Henry V, and Wilson's Three Lords and Ladies of London, which are marked by allegorical characterization and staging and are directed toward the praise of Elizabeth and her government. (7) It will be the purpose of this article recover the neglected subtextual religio-political context of Peele's play. I will show how he uses the folklore, romance, and ritual elements and themes depict the struggle between Protestant England and Catholicism as represented by Sacrapant. When viewed from this perspective, Old Wives Tale becomes less mysterious and joins Peele's other works as a celebration of the English Protestant settlement under Elizabeth. I primary theme of all of Peele's works is the praise of Protestant England under Elizabeth. Peele was a courtier poet who used pageantry, myth, allegory, history, and spectacle create patriotic shows that demonstrate the rightness of Elizabeth's reign. His first important work, Arraignment of Paris, which was published in 1584 and is based on his long poem Tale of Troy, is an allegorical and patriotic play that, in many ways, anticipates the rest of his career. Peele appropriates the classical myth of the choice of Paris and transports it England where Elizabeth, who presumably served as privileged audience at the first performance, is awarded the prize by as befitting her role as the all-powerful goddess of the second Troy. As Montrose argues, this play is part of a gift-giving cycle in which Peele offers his play as the gift Eliza, a mirror image of the action in the play itself: The play ends with the providential Elizabethan fulfillment of Troy's promise, a civilization achieved by the virtuous and gentle discipline of holiness and temperance, chastity and justice. …" @default.
