Title

La morale di Arlecchino [The Moral of Arlecchino]. Chicago: Tip. "La Parola", [n.d.]

Description

While not a play as such, this small pamphlet, first published in Treviso in 1898, tells the dramatic tale of the troubles of an oppressed, slow-thinking comedic servant, a harlequin in the commedia dell'arte style of melodrama, a method used by radical writers for the lesson it conveys to simple working men and women, who would understand the hard life of this stock character, the servant Arlecchino, and the impact on him of mistreatment by his bosses.

This work is volume 24 in the Library of La Parola dei Socialisti. La Parola went through several name changes to avoid postal authorities' ban on sending radical literature through the mails.
