This collection demonstrates the usefulness of approaching
texts-verbal, visual and aural-through a framework of humour.
Contributors offer in-depth discussions of humour in the West
within a wider cultural historical context to achieve a coherent,
chronological sense of how humour proceeds from antiquity to
modernity. Reading humorously reveals the complexity of certain
aspects of texts that other reading approaches have so far failed
to reveal. Humour in the Arts explores humour as a source of
cultural formation that engages with ethical, political, and
religious controversies whilst acquainting readers with a wide
range of humorous structures and strategies used across Western
cultures.
