The Terrain of Comedy
By:Louise Cowan
Published on 1984-01-01 by Dallas Inst Humanities & Culture
In THE TERRAIN OF COMEDY, Louise Cowan & her colleagues in the Dallas school of critics present a thorough probing of comedy as one of the territories through which the soul must journey, an |encompassing image| manifest in every culture. In the Introduction Cowan sets forth her theory of genres as embodying certain complex attitudes of the soul. Cowan points out that these essayists |would agree that comedy represents one of the major spatializations of reality of which literature is capable, (they) would not limit its presence to drama, & would view individual examples of comedy as representations of an order in reality...| Cowan explains further that |though there lies behind these essays a more or less shared theory of comedy, the essays themselves are, in general, exercises in practical rather than theoretical criticism. That is, they examine specific comic elements or themes & specific comic literary works or groups of works. They make no attempt at completeness. What the essays do, however, is to adumbrate the comic terrain...| Works interpreted include Homer's |Odyssey,| Aristophanes' comedies, Genesis, |The Divine Comedy,| & works by Shakespeare, Cervantes, Dostoyevsky, & Faulkner.

Colm Tóibíin, that award-winning source of Your Controland Brooklyn, works his notice for the advanced interactions between daddies and even sons—actually this concerns between the literary giants Oscar Wilde, Adam Joyce, W.B. Yeats, along with their fathers. Wilde loathed this pop, though identified them to be a lot alike. Joyce's gregarious mother driven your boyfriend's child , because of Eire resulting from his / her volatile mood as well as drinking. Although Yeats's papa, the latest puma, was first obviously an exquisite conversationalist as their chit chat appeared to be much more svelte versus artwork he or she produced. These prominent gents plus the fathers who seem to improved figure them occur with your life within Tóibín's retelling, as will Dublin's multi-colored inhabitants.
