AB  - Discusses meanings of "hobby-horse" and the ways in which these meanings overlap, arguing that this overlapping "exemplifies the interaction of different productions of early modern popular culture," which "attests to a complex circulation of cultural memory regarding symbols of popular culture, paradoxically both 'forgotten' and 'remembered' as basically oral-ritual culture was transformed into written forms." Considers the new overtones this analysis lends Hamlet, 3.1.133, and how "different versions of the playtext . . . also offer insights into the changing attitudes regarding popular culture, as it became gradually commercialised and politicised in the following decades." English summary, 119.
