Condizione: Gut. 234 S.; 23 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband leicht berieben. - Englisch. - This remarkable and entertaining book is perhaps the first comprehensive study of punning, tracking the phenomenon across languages and across cultures, from the highest to the lowest. . Puns are traditionally the lowest form of wit. This book, a defence of the much-maligned pun, asks us to think twice about its place in our lives and our culture. It is at different moments an analysis, a history and an anthology of puns. It collects and dissects them in literature, tracing their fortunes from classical times to the present in the hands of, for example, Lucretius, Rabelais, Shakespeare, Donne, Joyce and Beckett. It finds them too in popular culture, the visual arts, in graffiti, in slips of the tongue, in dreams, cliches and proverbs, and in advertising. (Verlagstext) // INHALT : Introduction ---- Shaky Foundations ---- The Motions of Puns ---- Making History I ---- Making History II ---- The Extended Family ---- Rounding Up ---- Puns Out and About ---- Across the Rivers and into the Trees ---- Conclusion ---- Notes ---- Select Bibliography ---- Index.
