| Abstract: | This interdisciplinary collection considers the related topics of satire and laughter in early modern Britain through a series of case studies ranging from the anti-monastic polemics of the early Reformation to the satirical invasion prints of the Napoleonic wars. Moving beyond the traditional literary canon to investigate printed material of all kinds, both textual and visual, it considers satire as a mode or attitude rather than a literary genre and is distinctive in its combination of broad historial range and thick description of individual instances. Within an over-arching investigation of the dual role of laughter and satire as a defence of communal values and as a challenge to political, religious and social constructions of authority, the individual chapters by leading scholars provide richly contextualised studies of the uses of laughter and satire in various settings - religious, political, theatrical and literary. Drawing on some unfamiliar and intriguing source material and on recent work on the history of the emotions, the contributors consider not just the texts themselves but their effect on their audiences, and chart both the changing use of humour and satire across the whole early modern period and, importantly, the less often noticed strands of continuity, for instance in the persistence of religious tropes throughout the period |

Corruption, Satire, Parody and the Press in Early Modern Britain Mark Knights This interdisciplinary collection considers the related topics of satire and laughter in early modern Britain through a series of case studies ranging from the anti-monastic polemics of the early Reformation to the satirical invasion prints of the Napoleonic wars. Moving beyond the traditional literary canon to investigate printed material of all kinds, both textual and visual, it considers satire as a mode or attitude rather than a literary genre and is distinctive in its combination of broad historial range and thick description of individual instances. Within an over-arching investigation of the dual role of laughter and satire as a defence of communal values and as a challenge to political, religious and social constructions of authority, the individual chapters by leading scholars provide richly contextualised studies of the uses of laughter and satire in various settings - religious, political, theatrical and literary. Drawing on some unfamiliar and intriguing source material and on recent work on the history of the emotions, the contributors consider not just the texts themselves but their effect on their audiences, and chart both the changing use of humour and satire across the whole early modern period and, importantly, the less often noticed strands of continuity, for instance in the persistence of religious tropes throughout the period Geschichte 1500-1820 gnd rswk-swf Lachen (DE-588)4033955-5 gnd rswk-swf Satire (DE-588)4051752-4 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf English literature / Early modern, 1500-1700 / History and criticism / Congresses Satire / History and criticism / Congresses Laughter / Great Britain / History / Congresses English literature English literature / Early modern Laughter Satire Great Britain United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1500-1700 Conference papers and proceedings Criticism, interpretation, etc History 1\p (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift gnd-content 2\p (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift Laughter and Satire in Europe 1500-1800 2014 Venedig gnd-content Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Satire (DE-588)4051752-4 s Lachen (DE-588)4033955-5 s Geschichte 1500-1820 z 3\p DE-604 Morton, Adam Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9781783272037 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, paperback https://doi.org/10.1017/9781787440814 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
