초록
Though J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan has been considered a conventional regulardrama, some scholars have recently argued it is an example of traditionalBritish pantomime, or a variation thereof. However its genre classification isbecoming more complicated, as these arguments have used different sourcematerials in support of their theses; some refer to Barrie’s 1904 manuscript,some the 1905 London premiere, while others cite the printed edition of 1928. The aims of this project are twofold: to establish that these three texts are verydifferent from each other and to compare each text with the major characteristicsof traditional British pantomime. By doing so this project suggests thatPeter Pan, in its development from the manuscript to the printed edition,evolved into a unique, carnivalesque work of pantomime. To analyze this evolution, it is necessary to firstly understand what Britishpantomime is, as this can shed light on how Barrie altered or modified its conventionalstructure and deviated from its traditions. This paper, as the firstpart of the project, thus compares a traditional pantomime with Barrie’s manuscript. This will show that, from the very beginning of the writing, Barriehad pantomime in mind as a template, as the structure of the work, its subtitleand the transvestite characters all demonstrate. Thus Peter becomes a releaseof pure animal spirits, an expression of the essence of carnival and of theSaturnalia, turning the world upside-down.
Abstract
Though J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan has been considered a conventional regulardrama, some scholars have recently argued it is an example of traditionalBritish pantomime, or a variation thereof. However its genre classification isbecoming more complicated, as these arguments have used different sourcematerials in support of their theses; some refer to Barrie’s 1904 manuscript,some the 1905 London premiere, while others cite the printed edition of 1928. The aims of this project are twofold: to establish that these three texts are verydifferent from each other and to compare each text with the major characteristicsof traditional British pantomime. By doing so this project suggests thatPeter Pan, in its development from the manuscript to the printed edition,evolved into a unique, carnivalesque work of pantomime. To analyze this evolution, it is necessary to firstly understand what Britishpantomime is, as this can shed light on how Barrie altered or modified its conventionalstructure and deviated from its traditions. This paper, as the firstpart of the project, thus compares a traditional pantomime with Barrie’s manuscript. This will show that, from the very beginning of the writing, Barriehad pantomime in mind as a template, as the structure of the work, its subtitleand the transvestite characters all demonstrate. Thus Peter becomes a releaseof pure animal spirits, an expression of the essence of carnival and of theSaturnalia, turning the world upside-down.
