解説
Pons Asinorum
Or
The Future of Nonsense
George Edinger and E J C Neep
Originally published in 1929.
"A most entertaining essay, rich in quotation from the old masters of clownship's craft." Saturday Review
The author maintains that true nonsense must be aimless humour - the humour that makes fun as opposed to the humour that makes fun of something.
88pp
Democritus
Or The Future of Laughter
Gerald Gould
Originally published in 1929.
"Democritus is bound to be among the favourites of the series. Gould's humour glances at history, morality, and humanity...wise and witty writing." Observer
Democritus is intended to illustrate the prevailing fashion in laughter and on the basis of historical and philosophical principles to forecast the humour of the future.
90pp
Mrs Fisher
Or The Future of Humour
Robert Graves
Originally published in 1928
"Mr Graves is the best man who could have been chosen to write on this subject." Daily Express
"...perfectly irresponsible, as a joker should be." The Times
This volume analyzes humour with a solemnity which becomes almost nightmarish.
90pp
Babel
Or the Past, Present and Future of Human Speech
Richard Paget
Originally published in 1930.
"...stimulating and absorbing." Journal of Education
This volume discusses human speech and treats it as a growth which must be tamed if it is to fulfil its highest purpose as a symbolism for human thought.
