Industry Reviews
An extensive reference on the subject of humor as it has been expressed in the literature of the British, from Beowulf to the present. Along with major literary figures are featured lesser known lights as well as luminaries (e.g. W.H. Auden, Winston Churchill, and Edith Sitwell) better known for work other than humor. The two-volume set contains 206 detailed entries (the work of 119 contributors) providing biographical information, an overview of each humorist's work, and in-depth analyses of comic techniques in major works. The bibliographies for each entry include both primary and secondary sources. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
