The Alchemy of Laughter: Comedy in English Fiction
G. Cavaliero
This is the only contemporary critical study to discuss the nature of comedy with exclusive reference to novels. Distinguishing between different kinds of humour, it shows how comedy works in practice under changing literary, social and environmental conditions, and is designed to interest academic and general readers equally.
