Commedia Dell' Arte of Flaminio Scala : A Translation and Analysis of 30 Scenarios, Hardcover by Andrews, Richard (TRN), ISBN 0810862077, ISBN-13 9780810862074, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In 1611, Scala published 50 scenarios in Rappresentative (The Theater of Tales for Performance); an earlier translation of some is incorrect and garbled, says Andrews (emeritus Italian, Leeds U.), so he offers 30 of them here. His commentary and analysis strives to demystify the genre for anglophones, showing that the improvisation was less spontaneously creative than is often thought, that the popular street comedy must be viewed in the context of published literary dramas, and that it ranged beyond the scurrilous farce it is best known for.
