| Abstract
|
:
|
"From page to stage to screen and beyond, this Very Short Introduction considers comedy as a literary genre and as a range of non-literary phenomena, experiences, and events. Taking in scenes from Aristophanes to The Office, from the Roman Saturnalia to Groundhog Day, Matthew Bevis explores comedy throughout the ages and examines its ability to push the boundaries of comic theory."--Cover flap.
