Cruelty and laughter -  Simon Dickie

forgotten comic literature and the unsentimental Eighteenth Century

KORTE INHOUD

A rollicking review of popular culture in 18th century Britain this text turns away from sentimental and polite literature to focus instead on the jestbooks, farces, comic periodicals variety shows and minor comic novels that portray a society in which no subject was taboo and political correctness unimagined.
