Synopsis
Excerpt from Points of View
More than half a dozen years have passed since Mr. Andrew Lang, startled for once out of his customary lightheartedness, asked him self, and his readers, and the ghost of Charles Dickens all three powerless to answer whether the dismal seriousness of the present day was going to last forever; or whether, When the great wave of earnestness had rippled over our heads, We would pluck up heart to be merry and, if needs be, foolish once again. Not that mirth and folly are in any degree synonymous, as of old; for the merry fool, too scarce, alas, even in the times when Jacke of Dover hunted for him in the highways, has since then grown to be rarer than a phoenix.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays from the author exploring and lamenting the widespread loss of humor, particularly through the overly serious nature of modern literature, culture, and daily life. The author posits that general distaste for humor results in a lot of great works being misinterpreted as being overly sad, which deprives us of the great joy that these works hold. The author points out the ways in which humor can enhance our lives and our relationships and suggests we should all embrace a little more lightheartedness. This book is an entertaining and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in literature, the importance of humor, and witty social commentary.
