Contrasting the erotic teleology of romantic comedy (which she calls \"pure comedy\") with the moral corrective of satire and the tragicomic emphasis on plot, Helen Gardner has written that \" the great symbol of pure comedy is marriage, by which the world is renewed, and its endings are always instinct with a sense of fresh beginnings . Its rhythm is the rhythm of the life of man kind, which goes on and renews itself as the life of nature does . . . . The young wed, so that they may become in turn the older genera tion, whose children will wed, and so on, as long as the world lasts . . . . The end of comedy declares that life goes on. \" 1 In romantic comedy, then, the sexual love that leads to marriage symbolizes the ongoing life of society, which in Elizabethan terms suggests a spiritually integrated cosmos. Although recent scholar ship has been carefully dissecting the ideological program that sus tains this comic syndrome, pointing to the devious subversions of its unity and the complex qualifications of its ideals , no analysis has disputed that the multileveled idealization of marriage is a power ful informing presence in Elizabethan comedy . 2 Yet this celebra-","PeriodicalId":346200,"journal":{"name":"The Expense of Spirit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134083045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, Jacobean city comedy brings into the light of representation precisely those dissociations and contradictions in English Renaissance sexual ideology which ro mantic comedy evokes but seeks to reconcile and contain . 1 Jaco bean satire, or city comedy, is a genre designed to dramatize the complex process of conducting economic and social relations in a newly forming urban environment. As is well known, city com edy as such began in the late 1 590s with Ben Jonson's humor plays, achieved recognizable generic conventions by about 1 605 , and thrived during, roughly, the first decade of the seventeenth cen tury, when dramatists perceived the city of London as the setting in which those conflicts caused by the political, religious, and eco nomic upheavals that transformed Renaissance England were being enacted most intensely. 2","PeriodicalId":346200,"journal":{"name":"The Expense of Spirit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113939025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
