Synopsis

American Humorists is a book written by H. R. Haweis that explores the history and evolution of humor in America. The book covers a wide range of comedic styles and genres, including satire, parody, slapstick, and more. Haweis examines the contributions of famous American humorists such as Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and James Thurber, as well as lesser-known but equally influential writers and performers. Through his analysis of their works, Haweis provides insights into the social and cultural context in which American humor developed, and how it has reflected and influenced American society over time. The book is a comprehensive and engaging look at the rich tradition of American humor, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of comedy in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lectures, the first four of which I de Hvered at the Royal Institution last year (1881), I am quite aware that what was spoken extemporaneously, and intended originally only to be heard in a genial atmosphere, must lose some of its effect when read in cold blood.
