Description
Not a mere anthology, this work is a careful study of how American humor has developed over the centuries, examining its leading practitioners and putting them in their proper context. Well-known names appear--Ben Franklin, Washington Irving, Mark Twain, James Thurber, Robert Benchley--and a host oflesser ones. Emphasis is on the written word, but later developments in the movies, radio and television are also described.
