Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the writings of Artemus Ward, the famed American humorist of the 19th century. Ward's unique literary voice, characterized by humility and a playful satire of societal norms, is explored as an expression of both his experiences and the broader American ethos of the time. The author examines how Ward's humor, often targeting self-important figures and institutions, reflected a democratic society's skepticism of authority and its tolerance for both selshness and kindness. Moreover, the book discusses how Ward's writings grappled with issues of slavery and the Civil War, reflecting the moral and political complexities of his era. Through a blend of biography and literary analysis, this book invites readers to explore the significance of Ward's humor as both a reflection of his time and a poignant commentary on human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
