Le burlesque a longtemps eu mauvaise réputation dans la bonne société. Il a pourtant joui d'une telle popularité qu'on comprend mal pourquoi il demeure encore méconnu. Cet ouvrage veut indiquer les moments déterminants de l'histoire du phénomène. Nous verrons le spectacle se détacher d'une tradition américaine, s'adapter au public de chez nous, se développer pendant la crise économique, s'étendre à l'échelle du Québec avec les tournées de Jean Grimaldi et, finalement, décliner avec l'avènement des cabarets et de la télévision, mais éprouver aussi un dernier regain de vie au "Théâtre des variétés". Nous verrons également comment fonctionnaient ces spectacles, qui en étaient les principaux artisans et comment ils furent initiés aux secrets de leur art. Les noms des théâtres National, King Edward et Arlequin, pour ne nommer que ceux-là, rappelleront d'heureux souvenirs aux amateurs d'autrefois. Et, plus encore, ceux de "La Poune", "Balloune" et "Tizoune", par exemple, évoqueront auprès des plus jeuens ce que fut cette activité théâtrale, populaire et marginale à la fois, témoin d'une époque et d'une société.

Robert Allen's compelling book examines burlesque not only as popular entertainment but also as a complex and transforming cultural phenomenon. When Lydia Thompson and her controversial female troupe of "British Blondes" brought modern burlesque to the United States in 1868, the result was electric. Their impertinent humor, streetwise manner, and provocative parodies of masculinity brought them enormous popular success--and the condemnation of critics, cultural commentators, and even women's rights campaigners. Burlesque was a cultural threat, Allen argues, because it inverted the "normal" world of middle-class social relations and transgressed norms of "proper" feminine behavior and appearance. Initially playing to respectable middle-class audiences, burlesque was quickly relegated to the shadow-world of working-class male leisure. In this process the burlesque performer "lost" her voice, as burlesque increasingly revolved around the display of her body. Locating burlesque within the context of both the social transformation of American theater and its patterns of gender representation, Allen concludes that burlesque represents a fascinating example of the potential transgressiveness of popular entertainment forms, as well as the strategies by which they have been contained and their threats defused.
