Great Fools of History
I was asked for my next class to cover the actual fools and jesters of history, what they did and what they wore.
My resources, and other books I don't have!
My books:
Fools Are Everywhere_ (University of Chicago Press) by Beatrice K. Otto - wonderful!!!
Clowns: A Panoramic History of Fools and Jesters, Medieval Mimes, Jongleurs and Minstrels, Pueblo Indian Delight Makers and Cheyenne Contraries, Harlequins and Pierrots, Theatrical Buffoons, etc. - very good!
Fools and Jesters of the English Court by John Southworth
Dwarfs and jesters in art With 90 illus: Erika Tietze-Conrat
And then a zillion more references- have fun!
