Accounts of misers were included in such 19th century works as G. H. Wilson's four-volume compendium of short biographies, The Eccentric Mirror (1807).<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Such books were put to comic use by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Dickens" title="Charles Dickens">Charles Dickens</a> in <a href="/wiki/Our_Mutual_Friend" title="Our Mutual Friend">Our Mutual Friend</a> (serialised 1864–1865), with its cutting analysis of Victorian capitalism.

Among the books appear <a href="/wiki/James_Caulfield" title="James Caulfield">James Caulfield</a>'s Portraits, Memoirs, and Characters of Remarkable Persons (1794–1795);<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Kirby's Wonderful Museum of Remarkable Characters (1803);<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Henry Wilson's Wonderful Characters (1821);<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> and F. Somner Merryweather's Lives and Anecdotes of Misers or The Passion of Avarice displayed in the parsimonious habits, unaccountable lives and remarkable deaths of the most notorious misers of all ages (1850).<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The majority of the misers are 18th century characters, with <a href="/wiki/John_Elwes_(politician)" title="John Elwes (politician)">John Elwes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Dancer" title="Daniel Dancer">Daniel Dancer</a> at their head. The first account of Elwes' life was <a href="/wiki/Edward_Topham" title="Edward Topham">Edward Topham</a>'s The Life of the Late John Elwes: Esquire (1790), which was initially published in his paper The World. The popularity of such accounts is attested by the seven editions printed in the book's first year and the many later reprintings under various titles.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Biographies of Dancer followed soon after, at first in periodicals such as the Edinburgh Magazine<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Sporting_Magazine" class="mw-redirect" title="Sporting Magazine">Sporting Magazine</a>,<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> then in the compendiums Biographical Curiosities (which also included Elwes)<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> and The Strange and Unaccountable Life of Daniel Dancer, Esq. ... with singular anecdotes of the famous Jemmy Taylor, the Southwark usurer (1797), which was often to be reissued under various titles.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cooper_Dancer.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Cooper_Dancer.jpg/220px-Cooper_Dancer.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="271" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Cooper_Dancer.jpg/330px-Cooper_Dancer.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Cooper_Dancer.jpg/440px-Cooper_Dancer.jpg 2x" data-file-width="585" data-file-height="721" /></a><figcaption>A pencil drawing of <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Dancer" title="Daniel Dancer">Daniel Dancer</a> by <a href="/wiki/Richard_Cooper_Jr" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Cooper Jr">Richard Cooper Jr</a>, 1790s</figcaption></figure> Jemmy Taylor's name also appears in the list of notable misers that Mr Boffin enumerates. He is coupled with the banker <a href="/wiki/Jemmy_Wood" title="Jemmy Wood">Jemmy Wood</a> of Gloucester, a more recent miser about whom Dickens later wrote an article in his magazine <a href="/wiki/All_the_Year_Round" title="All the Year Round">All the Year Round</a>.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Others include John Little (who appears in Merryweather), Reverend Mr Jones of Blewbury (also in Merryweather) and Dick Jarrel, whose surname was really Jarrett and an account of whom appeared in the <a href="/wiki/Annual_Register" class="mw-redirect" title="Annual Register">Annual Register</a> for 1806.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> The many volumes of this publication also figured among Mr Boffin's purchases. Two more of the misers mentioned made their way into other literary works. <a href="/wiki/John_Hopkins_(died_1732)" title="John Hopkins (died 1732)">John Hopkins</a>, known as Vulture Hopkins, was the subject of a scornful couplet in the third of <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Pope" title="Alexander Pope">Alexander Pope</a>'s Moral Essays, "Of the Use of Riches": <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712" /><blockquote class="templatequote"><div class="poem"> When Hopkins dies, a thousand lights attend The wretch who living saved a candle's end.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> </div></blockquote> John Overs, with a slight change to his name, became the subject of a three-act drama by <a href="/wiki/Douglas_William_Jerrold" title="Douglas William Jerrold">Douglas William Jerrold</a>, John Overy or The Miser of Southwark Ferry (1828), roughly based on an incident when he feigned death to save expenses and was killed by accident.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Another public source of information about misers, in Scotland at least, was the prose <a href="/wiki/Broadside_(printing)" title="Broadside (printing)">broadside</a>. One example concerns Isobel Frazer or Frizzle, who died in <a href="/wiki/Stirling" title="Stirling">Stirling</a> on 26 May 1820.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Much of the broadside is taken up with detailing the contents of her three rooms, into which she had let no one enter. Not more than £8 in currency was discovered there, but she had bought and hoarded many articles of dress over the years, although rarely wearing them.

In addition to much other <a href="/wiki/Bric-a-brac" class="mw-redirect" title="Bric-a-brac">bric-a-brac</a>, there were a great number of buttons, which had been cut off old coats. This makes her sound more like a <a href="/wiki/Compulsive_hoarding" class="mw-redirect" title="Compulsive hoarding">compulsive hoarder</a> than the "Female Miser" that she is called in the report. The title was more deserved by Joseph MacWilliam, who was found dead of a fire on 13 June 1826. A servant whose home was a damp <a href="/wiki/Edinburgh" title="Edinburgh">Edinburgh</a> cellar without either bed, chair or table, his colleagues and neighbours claimed to have seen him in the same threadbare clothes for 15 years. After his death, property to the value of more than £3,000 was found in the cellar, some in the form of property deeds, and more in bank receipts.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Later in the 19th century there were small regional publications dealing with single individuals of local interest.

Daniel Dancer was notorious for spending five shillings in an unsuccessful effort to recover three pence from a shop woman.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> He was also involved in a lawsuit with his equally miserly brothers when his sister died <a href="/wiki/Intestate" class="mw-redirect" title="Intestate">intestate</a>, although this time he was more successful.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> In the same century, Margery Jackson was involved in an epic Chancery suit between 1776 and 1791 over a family inheritance.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> The American <a href="/wiki/Hetty_Green" title="Hetty Green">Hetty Green</a>, who despite being a multimillionaire had also a reputation as a miser, involved herself in a six-year lawsuit to obtain her aunt's fortune, only to have it proved against her that she had forged the will.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> More modern times yield the Chinese example of an 80-year-old affronted by being called a miser in a poem by his son-in-law.

When his treasure was eventually stolen and he was lamenting his loss, he was consoled by a neighbour that he might as well bury a stone (or return to look at the hole) and it would serve the same purpose.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> The other was a two-line epigram in the <a href="/wiki/Greek_Anthology" title="Greek Anthology">Greek Anthology</a>, once ascribed to <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a>. In this a man, intending to hang himself, discovered hidden gold and left the rope behind him; on returning, the man who had hidden the gold hanged himself with the noose he found in its place.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> Both these stories were alluded to or retold in the following centuries, the most famous versions appearing in <a href="/wiki/La_Fontaine%27s_Fables" title="La Fontaine's Fables">La Fontaine's Fables</a> as L'avare qui a perdu son trésor (IV.20)<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> and Le trésor et les deux hommes (IX.15)<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> respectively. Yet another of La Fontaine's fables was the late addition, ""The miser and the monkey" (XII.3),<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> used as a cautionary tale for financiers. Here a man keeps his hoard in a sea-encircled tower until a pet monkey amuses itself one day in throwing the coins out of the window. In Asia, misers were the butt of humorous folklore. One very early cautionary tale is the Illisa Jataka from the Buddhist scriptures. This includes two stories, in the first of which a rich miser is miraculously converted to generosity by a disciple of the Buddha; following this, the Buddha tells another story of a miser whose wealth is given away when the king of the gods impersonates him, and when he tries to intervene is threatened with what will happen if he does not change his ways.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Two 16th century stories concerning misers are included among the witticisms attributed to <a href="/wiki/Birbal" title="Birbal">Birbal</a> during Mughal times.

His son invites in his playmates to pick the fruit but asks them not to eat the rotten ones since his father prefers those. The 18th century French fabulist <a href="/wiki/Claris_de_Florian" class="mw-redirect" title="Claris de Florian">Claris de Florian</a> was to adapt the story in his "L'avare et son fils" (The miser and his son, IV.9).

Some of the earliest deal with the grain speculators who caused such suffering to the poorest. A representative example is "The Wretched Miser" (1682), prefaced as "a brief Account of a covetous Farmer, who bringing a Load of Corn to Market, swore the Devil should have it before he would take the honest Market price". The devil closes with the bargain and on accounting day carries off the farmer as well.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> The social message is carried by the refrain that follows each stanza: "O Farmers, covetous Farmers,/ why would you pinch the Poor?" The religious aspect is dealt with in the contemporary "A Looking-glass for a covetous Miser" by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Jordan_(poet)" title="Thomas Jordan (poet)">Thomas Jordan</a>. Here a West Country entrepreneur and a poor husbandman debate the respective merits of anxious profit-making and contentment. The miser laments the current low price of grain and resolves not to sell or plant more until the price rises.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> The theme continued into the early 19th century, where a farmer is again the subject of "The life and awful death of a rich miser ".<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> Another common subject of these ballads was the dilemma of the miser's daughter unable to marry the man of her choice and the stratagems employed to overcome her father. In "Bite Upon the Miser", printed in the late 18th century, a sailor dresses up as the devil and scares the miser and the parson he intended as her husband into allowing the match.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> Much the same situation occurs in "The Politic Lovers or the Windsor Miser Outwitted", where it is a butcher who impersonates the devil and scares the miser into handing over his riches.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> In about 1800 there appeared an English broadside ballad called "The old miser" which was to serve as basis for what grew into a <a href="/wiki/Folk_music" title="Folk music">folk song</a> with multiple versions.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> The scene is set in London, where a miser's daughter is courted by a sailor and the father arranges for him to be press-ganged to get him out of the way. As well as persisting in England, there are also versions in the US and <a href="/wiki/Tristan_de_Cunha" class="mw-redirect" title="Tristan de Cunha">Tristan de Cunha</a>.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> Misers were notorious tricksters, so ingenuity transcending barely credible impersonations was generally needed. "Bite upon bite or the miser outwitted by the country lass" (1736–63) does not feature the miser's daughter but another sort of damsel in distress. A girl bears a child out of wedlock and is advised by her mother to name it Maidenhead and offer it for sale. A rich miser closes the bargain and is eventually forced to support the child by the magistrate.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> Still another ballad theme was the privations of the miser's servant, a comic situation in drama and fiction also, and here principally concerned with how little food the household has to live on. One example is "The Miser's Man (dating from between 1863 and 1885).<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> At the start of the 19th century, the theme had figured as an episode in <a href="/wiki/Robert_Anderson_(poet)" title="Robert Anderson (poet)">Robert Anderson</a>'s "Croglin Watty". A simple-minded countryman down from the fells, Watty was hired by the real-life <a href="/wiki/Carlisle,_Cumbria" class="mw-redirect" title="Carlisle, Cumbria">Carlisle</a> miser Margery Jackson (1722–1812) and served her for a <a href="/wiki/Calendar_year#quarter" title="Calendar year">quarter</a>. The ballad mixes sung verses with prose description, both in Cumberland dialect: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712" /><blockquote class="templatequote"><div class="poem"> Neist my deame she e'en starv'd me, that niver liv'd weel; Her hard words and luiks wou'd ha'e freeten'd the deil: She hed a lang beard, for aw t' warl leyke a billy goat, wi' a kil-dried frosty feace: and then the smawest leg o' mutton in aw Carel market sarrad the cat, me, and hur for a week.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> </div></blockquote> Dame Margery is not named in the poem because at the time of writing (1805) she was still alive and known to be litigious. We know that it is meant to be her from the fact that in William Brown's painting of the ballad, "Hiring Croglin Watty at Carlisle Cross", it is she who figures in the foreground.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> About 1811, just before her death, Brown had already devoted another painting to her alone as she tramped through the town.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> That she is still amusedly remembered there is witnessed by the modern Miser!

One of the earliest appears in the comic <a href="/wiki/Phlyax_play" title="Phlyax play">Phlyax plays</a> developed in the Greek colonies in Italy during the 4th century BCE, which are known only from rare fragments and titles.

Following on from the continuing success of Molière's L'Avare, there was a spate of French plays dealing with misers and their matrimonial plans over the next century and a half. What complicates matters is that several of these had the same title but were in fact separate plays written by different authors. L'Avare Amoureux (The Miser in Love) by Jean du Mas d' Aigueberre (1692–1755) was a one-act comedy acted in Paris in 1729.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> It is not the same as the anonymous one-act comedy of the same title published in 1777.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> Another set of plays borrows a title from the Italian dramatist <a href="/wiki/Carlo_Goldoni" title="Carlo Goldoni">Carlo Goldoni</a>, who was working in France at the end of his life. He had already produced a one-act comedy titled L'avaro (The Miser) in Bologna in 1756. In 1776 he produced in France the five-act L' avare fastueux (The Spendthrift Miser).<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> The same title was used by L. Reynier for his five-act verse drama of 1794<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> and by Claude Baron Godart d'Aucourt de Saint Just (1769-1826) for his three-act verse drama of 1805.<a href="#cite_note-La_fille_de_l'avare-87">[87]</a> The early 19th century saw misers become the subject of the musicals then fashionable in France. <a href="/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Scribe" title="Eugène Scribe">Eugène Scribe</a> and <a href="/wiki/Germain_Delavigne" title="Germain Delavigne">Germain Delavigne</a> collaborated on L'avare en goguette (The miser's spree) in 1823,<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> while <a href="/wiki/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Bayard" title="Jean-François Bayard">Jean-François Bayard</a> and <a href="/wiki/Paul_Duport" title="Paul Duport">Paul Duport</a> collaborated on the two-act La fille de l'avare (The Miser's Daughter) in 1835.<a href="#cite_note-La_fille_de_l'avare-87">[87]</a> The latter play was freely adapted in 1835 by <a href="/wiki/John_G._Millingen" title="John G. Millingen">John G. Millingen</a> under the title of The Miser's Daughter. Two further adaptations of the French play were to follow later: Love and Avarice (1859) by J. V. Bridgeman (1819–89), and <a href="/wiki/John_Palgrave_Simpson" title="John Palgrave Simpson">John Palgrave Simpson</a>'s Daddy Hardacre in 1857. Meanwhile, <a href="/wiki/William_Harrison_Ainsworth" title="William Harrison Ainsworth">William Harrison Ainsworth</a>'s period novel <a href="/wiki/The_Miser%27s_Daughter" title="The Miser's Daughter">The Miser's Daughter</a> (first serialised in 1842) was spawning a fresh crop of dramas of that title. Two were played in 1842 and a further adaptation called Hilda in 1872. A similarly titled play was the five-act comedy partially in verse, The Miser's Daughter or The Lover's Curse of 1839, a schoolboy indiscretion of the future controversial churchman, Rev.<a href="/wiki/John_Purchas" title="John Purchas">John Purchas</a>.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> And on the other side of the Atlantic there was a stage production of Julietta Gordini:The Miser's Daughter, a verse play in five acts, which claimed to derive its plot 'from an Italian story'.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> <a href="/wiki/Douglas_William_Jerrold" title="Douglas William Jerrold">Douglas William Jerrold</a>'s John Overy or The Miser of Southwark Ferry, (1828) also brings in a daughter whom the miser attempts to sell off as a mistress to her disguised lover.<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> Earlier Jerrold had written a one-act farce, The Smoked Miser or The Benefit of Hanging (1823), in which a miser tries to marry off his ward to advantage.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> Another farce produced in Canada, Major John Richardson's The Miser Outwitted (1841), had an Irish theme and dealt with a plot to trick a miser out of his money.<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> The later <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Peckett_Prest" title="Thomas Peckett Prest">Thomas Peckett Prest</a>'s The Miser of Shoreditch or the Curse of Avarice (1854) was based on a <a href="/wiki/Penny_dreadful" title="Penny dreadful">penny dreadful</a> story by him; later he adapted it as a two-act romantic drama set in time of Henry VIII.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> The popularity of these theatrical misers is evident from the number of paintings and drawings based on them, many of which were then adapted as prints. In 18th-century England, it was Fielding's "The Miser" that attracted most attention. <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Wale" title="Samuel Wale">Samuel Wale</a>'s drawing of the second act was also made into a print.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> But it was principally depictions of various actors in the character of Lovegold, the play's anti-hero, which attracted artists. <a href="/wiki/Samuel_De_Wilde" title="Samuel De Wilde">Samuel De Wilde</a> pictured <a href="/wiki/William_Farren" title="William Farren">William Farren</a> in the role at the <a href="/wiki/Theatre_Royal,_Bath" title="Theatre Royal, Bath">Theatre Royal, Bath</a>.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> Several other works became plates in one or another book dedicated to English drama.

The frieze on the west wall of <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Cathedral" title="Lincoln Cathedral">Lincoln Cathedral</a> depicts the torments of Hell visited on those guilty of this sin,<a href="#cite_note-133">[133]</a> while <a href="/wiki/Sassetta" class="mw-redirect" title="Sassetta">Sassetta</a> made "The Blessed Ranieri showing the friars the soul of the Miser of Citerna carried to hell by demons" a panel of an altarpiece (now in the <a href="/wiki/Louvre" title="Louvre">Louvre</a>).<a href="#cite_note-134">[134]</a> But the bracketing of the miser and the usurer as equally culpable types, mentioned earlier, makes it difficult to interpret the subject of later moralistic paintings, since they may represent either a hoarder, a money lender or even a tax collector. Such paintings cluster into recognisable genres, all of which point to the sinful nature of preoccupation with money for its own sake. <a href="/wiki/Hieronymus_Bosch" title="Hieronymus Bosch">Hieronymus Bosch</a>'s panel of <a href="/wiki/Death_and_the_Miser" title="Death and the Miser">Death and the Miser</a>, dating from the 1490s, started a fashion in depicting this subject among <a href="/wiki/Low_Countries" title="Low Countries">Low Countries</a> artists. Bosch shows the miser on his deathbed, with various demons crowding about his possessions, while an angel supports him and directs his attention to higher things. The link between finance and the diabolical is also drawn by another Fleming, <a href="/wiki/Jan_Matsys" title="Jan Matsys">Jan Matsys</a>, in his portrayal of the man of affairs being assisted in his double bookkeeping by a demon.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> The same connection is made in "The devil and the usurer" in the Valenciennes <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_des_beaux-arts_de_Valenciennes" class="extiw" title="fr:Musée des beaux-arts de Valenciennes">Musée des beaux-arts</a>, formerly attributed to <a href="/wiki/Pieter_Bruegel_the_Younger" class="mw-redirect" title="Pieter Bruegel the Younger">Pieter Bruegel the Younger</a>, in which two devils pluck at the sleeve of a poorly dressed moneylender.<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> The Gospel <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Rich_Fool" title="Parable of the Rich Fool">Parable of the Rich Fool</a><a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> lies behind another series of paintings which stem ultimately from mediaeval illustrations of the <a href="/wiki/Danse_Macabre" title="Danse Macabre">Dance of Death</a>. There a skeleton compels those from all walks of life, but particularly types of the rich and the powerful, to join him in his dance to the grave. In 1538 <a href="/wiki/Danse_Macabre#Hans_Holbein's_woodcuts" title="Danse Macabre">Hans Holbein the Younger</a> initiated a popular treatment of this subject in which each type is separately illustrated, of which there were many imitations in succeeding centuries.<a href="#cite_note-138">[138]</a> Among the depictions is a man starting up in protest behind a table piled with wealth on which a skeleton is laying hands. In his print of 1651, <a href="/wiki/Wenceslas_Hollar" class="mw-redirect" title="Wenceslas Hollar">Wenceslas Hollar</a> makes the connection with the parable clear by quoting from it in the frame.<a href="#cite_note-139">[139]</a> A variation is provided by <a href="/wiki/Jan_Provoost" title="Jan Provoost">Jan Provoost</a>'s 16th century diptych in which death confronts the man of affairs with his own account.<a href="#cite_note-140">[140]</a> A century later, <a href="/wiki/Frans_Francken_the_Younger" title="Frans Francken the Younger">Frans Francken the Younger</a> treats the theme twice, in both versions of which a skeleton serenades a luxuriously dressed greybeard sitting at a table.<a href="#cite_note-141">[141]</a> Another curious variation occurs in <a href="/wiki/Pieter_Quast" title="Pieter Quast">Pieter Quast</a>'s print of "The Miser and Death" (1643). Here the man sits at table clasping his money bags while contemplating a skull wearing a plumed hat, beside which is an <a href="/wiki/Hour-glass" class="mw-redirect" title="Hour-glass">hour-glass</a>. The visitation of death is carried forward in the 19th century in similarly titled works. They include a portrayal by Franz Häussler (1845-1920) of an old man standing at his desk who peers round fearfully as he glimpses a skull reflected in a mirror.<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> The charcoal and watercolour drawing by the Austrian Albert Plattner (1869–1919) is more ambiguous and has the figures facing away from each other in a cramped space.<a href="#cite_note-143">[143]</a> Yet another genre was the Allegory of Avarice, of which one of the earliest examples is <a href="/wiki/Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer" title="Albrecht Dürer">Albrecht Dürer</a>'s painting of a naked old woman with a sack of coins (1507).<a href="#cite_note-144">[144]</a> This makes the point that age comes to all and confiscates all consolations. A woman is chosen as subject because the Latin avaritia is of the feminine gender. Low Countries artists who took up the allegorical theme added the variation of making the woman examine a coin by the light of a candle or lantern, as in the paintings by <a href="/wiki/Gerrit_van_Honthorst" class="mw-redirect" title="Gerrit van Honthorst">Gerrit van Honthorst</a><a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mathias_Stomer" class="mw-redirect" title="Mathias Stomer">Mathias Stomer</a>.<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> In his own allegorical treatment, <a href="/wiki/Paulus_Moreelse" title="Paulus Moreelse">Paulus Moreelse</a> made the link with the dance of death genre by introducing a young boy slyly fingering the coins while keeping a wary eye on the woman to see if she has noticed.<a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a> These Dutch variations were mostly painted during the 1620s, when <a href="/wiki/Rembrandt" title="Rembrandt">Rembrandt</a> too borrowed the imagery, but his candlelit examiner of a coin is male and the piece is variously titled "The Money Changer" or "The Rich Fool", in reference to the parable already mentioned.<a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a> <a href="/wiki/Jan_Steen" title="Jan Steen">Jan Steen</a>, on the other hand, makes his subject very obviously a miser who hugs a small sack of coins and holds one up for intent inspection.<a href="#cite_note-149">[149]</a> In the Hieronymus Bosch Death and the Miser, the pull between spirituality and materialism is highlighted by making the deathbed a scene of conflict between the angel and demons. Quentin Matsys suggests the same polarity in his The moneylender and his wife (1514).<a href="#cite_note-150">[150]</a> Here the woman is studying a religious book while her husband is testing coins by weight.

Verses as the bottom underline the moral: "Why do you make/ such piles of gold?/ Soon you'll grow old/ and Death takes all.<a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a> Another area of ambivalence centres on the kind of clothes worn by the so-called misers. The subject of <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_Gerritsz_Pot" title="Hendrik Gerritsz Pot">Hendrik Gerritsz Pot</a>'s painting from the 1640s in the <a href="/wiki/Uffizi" title="Uffizi">Uffizi</a> is fashionably dressed and wearing a ring.

There a young woman in luxuriant Renaissance dress stands behind an ugly miser, reaching across him to take coins from the money bags he clutches to his chest, while he looks up at her, crying out with a grimace and trying to push away her hand. An updated version by <a href="/wiki/Philip_Dawe" title="Philip Dawe">Philip Dawe</a> was published as a print in 1773 under the title of The Scramble, or Old Gripus plunder'd by his Young Wife. Underneath is a verse commentary: <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>How hard is the conflict, yet claims ridicule,</dd> <dd>When doting and avarice possess an old fool!</dd> <dd>His wife while she plunders with smiles and caresses,</dd> <dd>At once cools his love and his avarice distresses.<a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> Literary manifestations of the theme of the mismatched couple include the Malbecco episode in "The Faerie Queene" and Catherine Hutton's novel "The Miser Married". English depictions of misers in the 18th century begin as genre paintings. <a href="/wiki/Gainsborough_Dupont" title="Gainsborough Dupont">Gainsborough Dupont</a>'s poorly dressed character clutches a bag of coin and looks up anxiously in the painting in the <a href="/wiki/Ashmolean_Museum" title="Ashmolean Museum">Ashmolean Museum</a>.<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> John Cranch (1751-1821) pictures two armed desperadoes breaking in on his.<a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> However, it is in the realm of satirical prints that the most inventiveness is found. <a href="/wiki/James_Gillray" title="James Gillray">James Gillray</a> does not neglect the moral dimension either in his "The miser's feast" (1786). He is pictured seated at a table eating a meager meal, attended by Death in the guise of an emaciated and naked manservant holding in his right hand a tray with a bone on it and behind him, in his left hand, the dart of death. Famine, a withered hag naked to the waist, is also in attendance wearing a large hat and fashionable skirt. These characters are identified by the verse at the bottom: "What else can follow but destructive fate,/When Famine holds the cup and Death the plate?"<a href="#cite_note-162">[162]</a> Among other details in Gillray's crowded print is a fashionably dressed prostitute coming through the door. Lechery was supposed to be an attribute of some misers, exposing them to a contest between satisfying this weakness and their overmastering passion to save expense, as exemplified in the Old Gripus print. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Rowlandson" title="Thomas Rowlandson">Thomas Rowlandson</a> points to one solution of his dilemma in a print showing a miser engaged with two nude prostitutes whom has hired for the price of one.<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> In another Rowlandson revisits the theme of the meager feast, depicting his miser crouched by an empty grate and keeping himself warm by hugging his money-bags. A hag enters, bringing a tiny portion to eat on a plate which a famished cat scrambles to reach.<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> One more dichotomy explored by Rowlandson appears in his watercolour of "The spendthrift and the miser".<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> The drunken young man alarming the miser there is probably his son, taking up a literary theme to be found, among other places, in Allan Ramsay's comic monologue. It will be remembered too that the thriftless ne'er-do-well of <a href="/wiki/A_Rake%27s_Progress" title="A Rake's Progress">A Rake's Progress</a> inherited his money from a miserly father. By the end of the 19th century the theme of the miser was distancing itself from the simple moralities of journeyman painters and becoming a subject for aristocratic amateurs. The Empress <a href="/wiki/Maria_Feodorovna_(Dagmar_of_Denmark)" title="Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark)">Maria Feodorovna</a>'s miser of 1890 handles a small strongbox.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> The Indian <a href="/wiki/Raja_Ravi_Varma" title="Raja Ravi Varma">Raja Ravi Varma</a> paints a Jewish character type for his miser, dated 1901,<a href="#cite_note-167">[167]</a> while the Hungarian nobleman <a href="/wiki/Ladislav_Med%C5%88ansk%C3%BD" class="mw-redirect" title="Ladislav Medňanský">Ladislav Medňanský</a> titles his humanised study "Shylock" (1900).<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a> Apart from them, there is an etching by <a href="/wiki/James_Abbott_McNeill_Whistler" class="mw-redirect" title="James Abbott McNeill Whistler">James Abbott McNeill Whistler</a> which emphasises the essential isolation of such figures. His enigmatic "The Miser" of 1860 pictures an individual of indeterminate gender seated with its back to the viewer in the corner of a bare room next to the window. He is looking down as if examining something and the room behind him is spartanly furnished with just a table and bench, while a broadsheet is tacked to the wall.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Miser&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120811103227/http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/miser">"miser - definition of miser in English from the Oxford dictionary"</a>. oxforddictionaries.com.
