Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Humour, Wit,& Wisdom: A Manual of Table-Talk Although there is no lack of jest-books in this prolific age of publishing, yet there are few publications of an anecdotal character, which combine this feature with extracts of a moral and philosophical nature. The object of this volume is to combine these elements, and thus to supply what would seem to some extent to be a hiatus. The combination thus attempted will perhaps render this publication not only amusing, but to some extent instructive. All jokes of an indelicate and irreverent character (which, unfortunately, are rife in most anecdote-books) are carefully excluded, and it is hoped that the result is a book adapted for youthful and general perusal. Mingled with the trite jokes, which are so familiar to most readers, will be found numerous extracts possessing prominent historical interest. In embodying the different characteristics thus indicated, the object has been to illustrate the maxim - Delectando Pariterque Monendo. It is curious to find, in the researches necessary for the preparation of a work of this description for the press, how many of the very oldest jokes are re-faced, and made to do duty as novelties in the current literature and table-talk of the day.

Download or read book Victorian Comedy and Laughter written by Louise Lee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative collection of essays is the first to situate comedy and laughter as central rather than peripheral to nineteenth century life. Victorian Comedy and Laughter: Conviviality,Jokes and Dissent offers new readings of the works of Charles Dickens, Edward Lear,George Eliot, George Gissing, Barry Pain and Oscar Wilde, alongside discussions of much-loved Victorian comics like Little Tich, Jenny Hill, Bessie Bellwood and Thomas Lawrence. Tracing three consecutive and interlocking moods in the period, all of the contributors engage with the crucial critical question of how laughter and comedy shaped Victorian subjectivity and aesthetic form. Malcolm Andrews, Jonathan Buckmaster and Peter Swaab explore the dream of print culture togetherness that is conviviality, while Bob Nicholson, Louise Lee, Ann Featherstone,Louise Wingrove and Oliver Double discuss the rise-on-rise of the Victorian joke — both on the page and the stage — while Peter Jones, Jonathan Wild and Matthew Kaiser consider the impassioned debates concerning old and new forms of laughter that took place at the end of the century.
