Shoemaker's Holiday: a Document in Egalitarianism
Abstract
The Shoemaker's Holiday stands among the best of Elizabethan comedies; it is rollicking joviality frozen in the black ink of words. And it is more. This play is a statement for the practice of, and the truth in, egalitarianism. I have endeavored here to illustrate that Thomas Dekker was not merely the merriest of hack writers but rather a man who believed deeply in the individuality of people and, even more important, one who believed in the right to practice and express such individuality.
