- Description
- I really enjoyed this selection of excerpts on comedy. In 64 extracts, this comprehensive anthology covers 2375 years of mainly philosophical texts in 375 dense pages. From 360 BCE (Plato’s Philebus) to just the other day (Romanska’s Disability in Tragic and Comic Frame [2015]), this is an immense resource covering a lot of ground. The extracts don’t all apply specifically to theatre, though this is where the discussion begins, with the ancients. Later on, as new genres emerge, there are also entries relating to prose, film, story-telling and stand-up; but mainly, the writings have to do with laughter itself, and the role and function of comedy.
