Table of ContentsReviewsRozik offers a complex critical introduction to comedy in 14 chapters. He argues that comedy is a function of 'mood' rather than of genre, structure, or other elements, and he employs this conceit to study comic structure, character, range, and the relationships between comedy and carnival, joke telling, 'tangential genres, ' and different media. He summarizes many of the major theories of comedy, laughter, and humor and offers solid critiques of why these theories are incomplete or inadequate. -- Choice Author InformationLiLawrie Phillips was born and bred in Pembroke Dock and trained a reporter on The Western Telegraph before moving to London.
