Thesis (M.A.)--Wake Forest University, 2015.

This thesis examines the influence of nascent capitalism on gender interactions in three London city comedies---Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday, Dekker and Thomas Middleton's The Roaring Girl, and Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside--- to reveal men's commodification of women as a defining feature of the genre. By charting the ways in which the men of these plays frame the women as commodities, I propose that city comedy stages a fraught condition for the contemporary female subject: men insist upon her visibility as a good circulated within the marketplace, while simultaneously asserting her invisibility as a productive laborer within the economic sphere. Heightening this tension, women's appearances outside of the home are increasingly associated with prostitution, as if to form a link between abstinence from economic activity and chastity; yet at the same time, the men of city comedy frame female chastity as a valuable commodity made visible within the public marketplace. All three of these plays ends with a festive marriage celebration as if to mask or erase such contradictions, but a thorough examination of their gender relations ultimately demonstrates city comedy's role in exposing these tensions rather than resolving them.
