Victorian Comedy and Laughter

Victorian Comedy and Laughter
Author: Louise Lee
Publisher: Springer Nature
Total Pages: 360
Release: 2020-08-06
Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN: 1137578823

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.

This surprising survival has been welcomed by all who know that letters can be the best kind of travelling or bedside reading. George Lyttelton was a retired schoolmaster who began to exchange letters with Rupert Hart-Davis, a London publisher, one of Lyttelton's students at Eton. The correspondence began in 1955 when Lyttelton was 72 and Hart-Davis was 48.
