520 8 Written by an acknowledged master of comedy, this study
reflects on the nature of humour and the functions it
serves. Why do we laugh? What are we to make of the sheer
variety of laughter, from braying and cackling to
sniggering and chortling? Is humour subversive, or can it
defuse dissent? Can we define wit? Packed with
illuminating ideas and a good many excellent jokes, the
book critically examines various well-known theories of
humour, including the idea that it springs from
incongruity and the view that it reflects a mildly
sadistic form of superiority to others. Drawing on a wide
range of literary and philosophical sources, Terry
Eagleton moves from Aristotle and Aquinas to Hobbes, Freud,
and Bakhtin, looking in particular at the psychoanalytical
mechanisms underlying humour and its social and political
evolution over the centuries.
