Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hand-puppet play starring the characters Punch and Judy was introduced from England and became extremely popular in the United States in the 1800s. This book details information on nearly 350 American Punch players. It explores the significance of the 19th-century American show as a reflection of the attitudes and conditions of its time and place. The century was a time of changing feelings about what it means to be human. There was an intensified awareness of the racial, cultural, social and economical diversity of the human species, and a corresponding concern for the experience of human oneness. The American Punch and Judy show was one of the manifestations of these conditions.

This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tragical Comedy, or Comical Tragedy, of Punch and Judy" by John Payne Collier is a whimsical and satirical play that delves into the absurdities of human nature through the lens of the classic puppet show. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Punch and Judy puppet performances, Collier's work offers a playful yet incisive commentary on the follies and foibles of society. Set in a world populated by larger-than-life characters, including the irrepressible puppet Punch and his long-suffering wife Judy, the play unfolds as a series of comedic vignettes that explore themes of power, violence, and moral ambiguity. As Punch wreaks havoc with his slapstick antics and reckless behavior, he inadvertently exposes the darker aspects of human nature, from greed and cruelty to hubris and folly.

Download or read book When the World Laughs written by William V. Costanzo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the World Laughs is a book about the intersection of humor, history, and culture. It explores how film comedy, one of the world's most popular movie genres, reflects the values and beliefs of those who enjoy its many forms, its most enduring characters and stories, its most entertaining routines and funniest jokes. What people laugh at in Europe, Africa, or the Far East reveals important truths about their differences and common bonds. By investigating their traditions of humor, by paying close attention to what kinds of comedy cross national boundaries or what gets lost in translation, this study leads us to a deeper understanding of each other and ourselves. Section One begins with a survey of the theories and research that best explain how humor works. It clarifies the varieties of comic forms and styles, identifies the world's most archetypal figures of fun, and traces the history of the world's traditions of humor from earliest times to today. It also examines the techniques and aesthetics of film comedy: how movies use the world's rich repertoire of amusing stories, gags, and wit to make us laugh and think. Section Two offers a close look at national and regional trends. It applies the concepts set forth earlier to specific films-across a broad spectrum of sub-genres, historical eras, and cultural contexts-providing an insightful comparative study of the world's great traditions of film comedy.
