Item description from seller

Blue and gray boards with color-illustration and yellow and white lettering. xv, 359 pp. BW and some color illustrations. This volume provides an overview of issues related to comedy in the Middle Ages. In particular, it explores unusual, unexpected or unacknowledged elements of humour in medieval literature and art. This collection of 20 essays by internationally renowned scholars celebrates the work of Brian J. Levy in the realm of humour in the Middle Ages. Authors highlight a wide variety of aspects pertaining to the medieval comic presence including: comic elements taking an unusual form; a comic presence in unexpected places; comic elements intentionally or unintentionally hidden; comic elements surprisingly vaunted; a comic presence in standard contexts which stands out for a particular reason; comic elements which are for some reason controversial; comic elements as yet unidentified or unacknowledged; a commonly acknowledged comic presence which is in fact no such thing. -Amazon.
