Comedy
By:T. G. A. Nelson
Published on 1990-07-12 by Oxford University Press, USA
From Plautus, Cervantes, and Charles Dickens to Evelyn Waugh, Joseph Heller, and Tom Stoppard, fromA Midsummer Night's DreamtoArsenic and Old Laceand Woody Allen, this concise and readable book provides a thorough introduction to comic criticism. Nelson argues that there are significant recurring patterns of comedy, both in the classics and in more popular and commercial works. He discusses such themes as the link between comedy and carnival, the apparent obsession of modern writers with linguistic comedy, and the dilemma of feminists faced with traditional comedy that is largely sexist in nature.
