Description

Explore the rich interconnections between parody and festivity in humanist thought and popular culture through this collection of scholarly essays. This volume examines the nature and meanings of festive laughter as conceived in early modern art, with carnival serving as the central connecting thread. The essays traverse both high art and distinctly low-brow cultural expressions, covering themes such as grobianism, the grotesque, scatology, popular proverbs with ironic twists, and a wide range of artistic practices. Published by Routledge, this academic work offers valuable insight into how comedy functioned as social vision during the early modern period, analysing how festivity was bound to popular culture and ephemeral artistic forms. Ideal for scholars, art historians, and students interested in the cultural history of humour, parody, and carnival traditions.
