In the 17th century Europeans began to establish settlements in the Americas. The division of the land into smaller units under private ownership became known as the plantatioâ¦n system. Starting in Virginia the system spread to the New England colonies. Crops grown on these plantations such as tobacco, rice, sugar cane and cotton were labour intensive. Slaves were in the fields from sunrise to sunset and at harvest time they did an eighteen hour day. Women worked the same hours as the men and pregnant women were expected to continue until their child was born.
Burlesque is a humorous theatrical entertainment involving parody and sometimes extreme exaggeration, yes..this is all I found. but what about, new burlesque? A new generation nostalgic for the spectacle and perceived glamour of the old times determined to bring burlesque back.
Burlesque overlaps in meaning with caricature, parody and travesty, and, in its theatrical sense, with extravaganza, as presented during the Victorian era. Burlesque has been used in English in this literary and theatrical sense since the late 17th century.eginning in the early 18th century, the term burlesque was used throughout Europe to describe musical works in which serious and comic elements were juxtaposed or combined to achieve a grotesque effect.
