Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mirthfulness and Its Exciters: Or, Rational Laughter and Its Promoters Three reasons have in uenced me to prepare this book for the public. Lst, A belief that there was a demand for such a book. I had felt the demand m self, and had heard others ex ress a similar feeling. I had purc ased two books of anecdotes, 0 several hun dred pages each, in both of which I found but very few truly humorous sayings. I inquired of literary men, and examined several public libraries, in search of a book containing short, humorous, and witt anecdotes adapted to excite mirthfillness, without ofi'ending t e taste or demoralizing the feelin of the chaste and the pious; and I learned that no such book (1 been published, but that such anecdotes could be found, scattered through many volumes and periodicals, and laid up in the memo ries of individuals. Several gentlemen with whom I spoke upon the subject expressed the hope that I would employ my leisure time in supplying the demand described. 2d, Having been unexpectedl relieved from the duties of pro fessional life, and being require to do something for my support, I felt obliged to em lay my pen in this service; and, with this feel I cast about or a subject on which to write a book. Three ects were suggested to me, all of which seemed attractive, and f which I thought would command ublic attention, and secure a profitable sale, if skilfully presentedl For reasons, I selected one, with the intention, if my first book shall find a profitable sale, to follow it with another, if not others. 3d, The strong reason which in uenced me to give attention to the reparation of this work, at the time I did, was this In uenced by e cruel intolerance of a few professed reformers outside of my parish, who felt indignant at my success in securing ublic favor, in opposition to their impracticable schemes to e ect a moral reform by force, I had torn myself away from a people with whom I had been connected nearly thirty years, between nearly all of whom and myself there existed a very strong attachment. The violence done to my feelings by this rupture, produced by the intolerance of which I have spoken, left me in a state, both physi cal and mental, which demanded my most skilful treatment. I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do modern Americans believe in something called a sense of humor, and how did they come to that belief? Daniel Wickberg traces the relatively short cultural history of the concept to its British origins as a way to explore new conceptions of the self and social order in modern America. More than simply the history of an idea, Wickberg's study provides new insights into a peculiarly modern cultural sensibility. The expression "sense of humor" was first coined in the 1840s, and the idea that such a sense was a personality trait to be valued developed only in the 1870s. What is the relationship between medieval humoral medicine and this distinctively modern idea of the sense of humor? What has it meant in the past 125 years to declare that someone lacks a sense of humor? Why do modern Americans say it is a good thing not to take oneself seriously? How is the joke, as a twentieth-century quasi-literary form, different from the traditional folktale? Wickberg addresses these questions among others and in the process uses the history of ideas to throw new light on the way contemporary Americans think and speak about humor and laughter. The context of Wickberg's analysis is Anglo-American; the specifically British meanings of humor and laughter from the sixteenth century forward provide the framework for understanding American cultural values in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The genealogy of the sense of humor is, like the study of keywords, an avenue into a significant aspect of the cultural history of modernity. Drawing on a wide range of sources and disciplinary perspectives, Wickberg's analysis challenges many of the prevailing views of modern American culture and suggests a new model for cultural historians.
