Listen "Poko Ponders: Jesters"
Episode Synopsis
Jesters have inspired comedians, writers and even stuntmen who copy their occasional acrobatics. But how exactly did jesters come to be, how did they transition to the royal court and what do they look like today? SaltWire host Sarah Poko spoke to Christine Hoffmann, an associate professor of English at West Virginia University, and author of the book Stupid Humanism: Folly as Competence in Early Modern and Twenty-First-Century Culture, to discuss the past and future of jesters.
