Historical Comedy on Screen: Subverting History with Humour
Historical Comedy on Screen: Subverting History with Humour
In 1893, Friedrich Engels branded history 'the cruelest goddess of all'. This sorrowful vision of the past is deeply rooted in the Western imagination, and history is thus presented as a joyless playground of inevitability rather than a droll world of possibilities. This book emphasizes the many oft-overlooked comical renderings of history.
