Description

Max Eastman's classic work on humour takes a refreshing approach by drawing from contemporary American comedy rather than recycled jokes from outdated sources. This book avoids the common pitfall of hardened, contextless witticisms by curating selections specifically designed to entertain and amuse readers. Eastman argues that textbooks and academic works are fundamentally miswritten, and his fabled work serves as an antidote by prioritising the reader's genuine enjoyment and laughter. The selections are carefully chosen not to provide comprehensive coverage of the humour field, but rather to build a coherent argument about what makes comedy truly work. Published by Routledge, this humour book delivers both insight and entertainment, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the mechanics and joy of laughter.
