This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of Humorous Verse Poet. I have been more influenced by the treat ment - and occasionally by the subject - Of a poem than by its authorship or date. In the early days, soon after Chaucer, we are in an epoch of rough physical humour, of drinking songs, of simple fables; when law-suits and money, the unknown king and his outspoken subject, the Church and the Devil, provided the stock elements of laughter. There was a directness and a vital strength about these singers which I seem to see reflected in the bold detail-carvings of the Gothic Cathedrals, where Humour treads upon the heels of the Grotesque, and laughter is sometimes very near akin to tears. Not until the spacious days of Elizabethan literature does this weight of inevitable realism begin to lift. Soon afterwards, the Cavaliers were among the most delightful lyrists in the world, but rather in the passionate than the humorous Vein and after these again there is an interval, an interregnum, in which it may be recognised that the old style is dead, and the new one has not been born. Of this is the long newsletter, meant to be witty, and occasionally humorous. But the charm of the ancient days had vanished, without being as yet replaced by any compensating skill. The old stories had all been told, and there was no one to touch them with a new life or to find fresh sub jects for his verse. The unfortunate repetition which comes from lack of ideas became common, and the Primitive Jest flourished in the land only not perishing outright because, in Rabelais phrase, it was in one form or another an essential human attribute. As Mr. Andrew Lang has sung. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of Humorous Verse: From Robert Herrick to Owen Seaman In presenting this volume, the compilers wish to state that they do not put it forward as a collection of masterpieces of humorous verse. Many masterpieces are included, but the object of the compilers has been not only to bring together the best humorous verse in the language between Robert Herrick and Owen Seaman, but also to give representative specimens of the work of these writers whose efforts were acclaimed as successful by their contemporaries. The absence of one or two modern writers is due to their works not being available; but most authors and publishers, with generous courtesy, have permitted the insertion of such copyright poems as were desired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Humorous Poems Humour Is, In an intense degree, at once individual and expansive. It depends upon a specialty of character; it affects all persons with whom it comes in contact; and it produces in the humourist's own mind a recast of all his experiences - they become to him very different from what they are 7567' se, or what they would seem were he not a humourist. If he is furthermore a humourist with a gift of expression or of writing, he naturally produces something that has a avour of its own-something fairly proper to himself, and (in the higher classes of humouristic writing) genuinely original. While humour is thus, as I have termed it, expansive, Wit is intensive or incisive. Humour mo difies its subject-matter - and cannot help doing so, because the humourist is compelled to see everything through the spectacles of his own strong individuality: Wit irradiates or illustrates its subject-matter, but leaves it substantially unmodified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treasury of Humorous Poetry: Being a Compilation of Witty, Facetious, and Satirical Verse The great end of comedy, said Doctor Johnson, in speaking of the drama, is making an audience merry. Whatever else may or may not be true of a humorous compilation, it is certain that unless such a book is amusing, it is a failure. The aim of this Treasury is not that of presenting extracts illustrating the development of humorous poetry in the English language. If that were its purpose, the anthology might have greater value for historical students of literature, but for the average reader it would prove of necessity uninteresting. A sense of relative proportion would have to be observed, which would mean that Chaucer must be liberally represented; that one or more scenes from Shakespeare would have to be transplanted bodily; that the Rape of the Lock must needs be included, as well as much of Dryden, Prior, Gay, Samuel Butler, Swift, Southey, and other wits of a former day, and that the jesters who can really amuse a modern audience would have to be represented meagrely or not at all.
